Limits of families of Brieskorn lattices and compactified classifying spaces

We investigate variations of Brieskorn lattices over non-compact parameter spaces, and discuss the corresponding limit objects on the boundary divisor. We study the associated variation of twistors and the corresponding limit mixed twistor structures. We construct a compact classifying space for regular singular Brieskorn lattices and prove that its pure polarized part carries a natural hermitian structure and that the induced distance makes it into a complete metric space.
