Abstract:
This talk will be about the relations between intersection spaces and mixed Hodge theory. Using rational homotopy theory tools we show we can endow with compatible mixed Hodge structures the rational cohomology of intersection spaces associated to a complex projective algebraic variety with only isolated singularities. We then use these mixed Hodge structures to derive results about the formality of such intersection spaces.
