sl2 -Structures on FQ 0

The morphism d C (resp. d  ) considered in 5, (5.26) [resp. (5.35)], attaches intrinsically the nilpotent endomorphism d C .v/ (resp. d  .v/) to every tangent vector v in T . We have seen their importance with respect to the period maps r defined for JM  , for every component  in Cadm .L; d /. In this section we explore more subtle representation theoretic aspects of this assignment by completing d C .v/ to an sl2 -triple. This is made possible by the well-known Jacobson-Morozov theorem.1 Once such a triple is chosen, we look at its representation on the fibre of the sheaf FQ 0 at the point of JM  underlying the tangent vector v. This yields further, finer, decomposition of the orthogonal decomposition of FQ 0 in (5.4). The resulting structure is somewhat reminiscent of the linear algebra data arising in the theory of Mixed Hodge structure. r We fix a component  in Cadm .L; d / and assume it to be simple.2 As before the morphism  W JM  ! M stands for the natural projection and T denotes its relative tangent bundle (recall our convention in 2.7 of distinguishing locally free sheaves and the corresponding vector bundle). We begin by considering the situation at a closed point of T and then give a sheaf version of our construction.

For this and other standard facts about such triples we refer to [Kos]. See Definition 4.22; from the results in 4.2, Theorem 4.26, it follows that this assumption is inessential.

i.e. two choices for a semisimple element in an sl2 -triple for d ˙ .v/ differ by an element in g˙ .v/. In fact it is known that if h (resp. h0 ) is a semisimple element which goes along with d C .v/ (resp. d  .v/) in an sl2 -triple, then any other semisimple element hQ (resp. hQ0 ) for d C .v/ (resp. d  .v
