Abstract

Based on the work of Gross and Sheng and Zuo, Friedman and Laza show that over every irreducible Hermitian symmetric domain there exists a canonical variation of real Hodge structure of Calabi-Yau type. The first part of the thesis concerns motivic realizations of the canonical Calabi-Yau variations over irreducible Hermitian symmetric domains of tube type. In particular, we show that certain rational descents of the canonical variations of Calabi-Yau type over irreducible tube domains of type $A$ can be realized as sub-variations of Hodge structure of certain variations which are naturally associated to families of abelian varieties of Weil type. The situations for tube domains of type $D^{\mathbb{H}}$ are also discussed. The second part of the thesis aims to understand the exceptional isomorphism between the Hermitian symmetric domains of type $\mathrm{II}_4$ and of type $\mathrm{IV}_6$ geometrically. We shall give some geometric constructions relating both of the domains to quaternionic covers of genus three curves. | 91 pages
