Mixed Hodge structure of affine hypersurfaces

Hossein Movasati

Keywords: Mixed Hodge Structure

In this article we give an algorithm which produces a basis of the $n$-th de Rham cohomology of the affine smooth hypersurface $f^{-1}(t)$ compatible with the mixed Hodge structure, where $f$ is a polynomial in $n+1$ variables and satisfies a certain regularity condition at infinity (and hence has isolated singularities). As an application we show that the notion of a Hodge cycle in regular fibers of $f$ is given in terms of the vanishing of integrals of certain polynomial $n$-forms in $\C^{n+1}$ over topological $n$-cycles on the fibers of $f$. Since the $n$-th homology of a regular fiber is generated by vanishing cycles, this leads us to study Abelian integrals over them. Our result generalizes and uses the arguments of J. Steenbrink in \cite{st77} for quasi-homogeneous polynomials.
