In mathematics , a Hodge structure is an algebraic structure that generalizes the Hodge decomposition of the cohomology of compact Kähler manifolds. Hodge structures have a variety of uses in complex and algebraic geometry.
Definitions
A Hodge decomposition of a real vector space is a decomposition

with for everyone .


A Hodge structure is a real vector space together with a Hodge decomposition.
A pure Hodge structure by weight is a Hodge structure with


In general, one has a weight breakdown for a Hodge structure

With
A whole Hodge structure (or rational Hodge structure ) is a finitely generated free module
(or a finitely generated vector space) with a Hodge decomposition of (or ), so that the weight decomposition is defined by.





Examples
Hodge-Tate structures
Z (n)
is the whole Hodge structure with module


and . It is the only 1-dimensional Hodge structure weighing -2.

With becomes the -fold tensor product

designated.
Q (n)
is the rational Hodge structure with -Vector space


and .
is -fold tensor product
.




R (n)
is the Hodge structure with - vector space


and .
is -fold tensor product
.




Hodge decomposition theorem for Kähler manifolds
The cohomology of a compact Kähler manifold has a Hodge structure: according to Hodge's theorem one can identify the -th cohomology with the space of harmonic differential forms and it holds




where denotes the harmonic (p, q) forms . It applies .


Hodge filtration
To a pure Hodge structure by weight one describes the filtration

With

as an associated Hodge filtration.
The Hodge filtration determines the Hodge decomposition

The existence of a pure Hodge decomposition of weight is therefore equivalent to the existence of a filtration of with for sufficiently large and
