Every o-minimal structure determines a collection of "tame" or "definable" subsets of bbRn. We can then ask about the fragment of complex geometry present in the structure: Which holomorphic functions are definable, and which spaces are cut out by...

Ben Bakker explained to us how to construct moduli spaces of polarized Hodge structures, and then produced period maps associated to families of smooth projective varieties. However, in practice one often encounters a family of smooth varieties...
