Completion of a period map of Hodge type (1,2,2,1)

Abstract

We give a completion of the period map associated to a variation of polarized Hodge structure arising from a 2-dimensional geometric family that has Hodge type (1,2,2,1). This is the second known example of a completion of a period map that is higher than one dimensional with non-hermitian symmetric Mumford-Tate domain. The completion technique we use is the theory of Kato-Usui spaces, while the calculation of monodromy matrices is done with the help of mirror symmetry.
