Mixed Hodge Structures on Alexander Modules

Motivated by the limit mixed Hodge structure on the Milnor fiber of a hypersurface singularity germ, we construct a natural mixed Hodge structure on the torsion part of the Alexander modules of a smooth connected complex algebraic variety. More precisely, let U U be a smooth connected complex algebraic variety and let f : U → C ∗ f\colon U\to \mathbb {C}^* be an algebraic map inducing an epimorphism in fundamental groups. The pullback of the universal cover of C ∗ \mathbb {C}^* by f f gives rise to an infinite cyclic cover U f U^f of U U . The action of the deck group Z \mathbb {Z} on U f U^f induces a Q [ t ± 1 ] \mathbb {Q}[t^{\pm 1}] -module structure on H ∗ ( U f ; Q ) H_*(U^f;\mathbb {Q}) . We show that the torsion parts A ∗ ( U f ; Q ) A_*(U^f;\mathbb {Q}) of the Alexander modules H ∗ ( U f ; Q ) H_*(U^f;\mathbb {Q}) carry canonical Q \mathbb {Q} -mixed Hodge structures. We also prove that the covering map U f → U U^f \to U induces a mixed Hodge structure morphism on the torsion parts of the Alexander modules. As applications, we investigate the semisimplicity of A ∗ ( U f ; Q ) A_*(U^f;\mathbb {Q}) , as well as possible weights of the constructed mixed Hodge structures. Finally, in the case when f : U → C ∗ f\colon U\to \mathbb {C}^* is proper, we prove the semisimplicity and purity of
