Abstract

We introduce the notion of a mixed Hodge structure over an Artin ring, thereby establishing a framework for applying Hodge theoretic arguments to deformation problems. Examples arise from relative simple normal crossing varieties over Artinian base schemes. As an application we prove that the maps between graded pieces of Hodge bundles have constant rank.
