Abstract

In this paper, we give an exposition of the elliptic KZB connection over the universal elliptic curve and use it to compute the limit mixed Hodge structure on the unipotent fundamental group of the first order Tate curve. We also give an explicit algebraic formula for the restriction of the elliptic KZB connection to the moduli space of non-zero abelian differentials on an elliptic curve.

Keywords

Eisenstein series, moduli of elliptic curves, mixed elliptic motives, Hodge theory, algebraic de Rham theory of fundamental groups, elliptic KZB connection
