The first step is to consider the Clifford algebra of H. It turns out that it is endowed with a weight 2 Hodge structure compatible with the algebra structure. We show more generally that a weight 2 polarized Hodge structure which carries a compatible (unitary, associative) algebra structure is a quotient of the H^2 of an abelian variety.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-03-07T10:25:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14K10", "14C30", "32G20" ], "keywords": [ "generalization", "algebra structure", "abelian variety", "k3 type polarized weight", "kuga-satake construction associates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......3122V" } } }
