Green–Griffiths conjecture on algebraicity of normal-function zero loci

Let B\mathsf B be a complex algebraic manifold, let H\mathcal H be a variation of pure negative weight integral Hodge structures over B\mathsf B, and let ν:BJ(H)\nu:\mathsf B\to\mathsf J(\mathcal H) be an admissible normal function, meaning a holomorphic section of the associated family of generalized intermediate Jacobians satisfying Griffiths horizontality and controlled asymptotic behavior near the boundary. Green–Griffiths conjecture. The zero locus of ν\nu is algebraic. The conjecture concerns the algebraicity of loci defined by transcendental normal functions. It was proved in a series of papers, including for curves and then for arbitrary-dimensional bases, so the claim is solved.
