DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ZAG/212/">Pe
 riod integrals of algebraic varieties</a>\nby Benjamin Bakker (University 
 of Illinois at Chicago) as part of ZAG (Zoom Algebraic Geometry) seminar\n
 \n\nAbstract\nPeriod integrals on complex algebraic varieties are the inte
 grals of algebraic differential forms along topological cycles.  They are 
 at the heart of Hodge theory.  In this talk I will survey some recent resu
 lts on the behavior of the functions obtained by taking period integrals i
 n algebraic families\, including their transcendence\, their relation to t
 he derivatives of the associated period map\, and some geometric applicati
 ons.  This is joint work with J. Pila and J. Tsimerman.\n
