Title: Hodge symmetries of singular varieties

Abstract: The Hodge diamond of a smooth projective complex variety exhibits fundamental symmetries, arising from Poincaré duality and the purity of Hodge structures. In the case of a singular projective variety, the complexity of the singularities is closely related to the symmetries of the analogous Hodge-Du Bois diamond. For example, the failure of the first nontrivial Poincaré duality is reflected in the defect of factoriality. Based on joint work with Mihnea Popa, I will discuss how local and global conditions on singularities influence the topology of algebraic varieties.
