Title: Space of nilpotent orbits and extension of period mappings 

Abstract: In this talk we will review Kato-Nakayama-Usui's completion of period mappings using logarithmic 
Hodge theory, which re-interpretates and generalizes Schmid's nilpotent orbit theorem and Mumford's Toroidal 
compactification. In particular, some important non-classical examples where KNU's theory finds applications 
have been obtained by the author's recent works joint with Colleen Robles.
