Griffiths conjecture on period images

Let UU be a quasi-projective variety carrying a Z\mathbb Z-PVHS, with period map φ:UΓ\D\varphi:U\to\Gamma\backslash\mathcal D. Let \mathlcalP\mathlcal P be the period image, and let L:=pdet(FpVO)L:=\bigotimes_p\operatorname{det}(\mathrm F^pV_{\mathcal O}) be the Griffiths line bundle.

Griffiths conjecture. The period image \mathlcalP\mathlcal P is quasi-projective and φ\varphi is induced by an algebraic morphism; LL is ample on \mathlcalP\mathlcal P; and there exists a Baily–Borel type compactification \mathlcalPBB\mathlcal P^{\mathrm{BB}} such that

\mathlcalPBB=Proj\mathlcal P^{\mathrm{BB}}=\operatorname{Proj}

of the ring of moderate-growth sections of LnL^{\otimes n}.

The source states that parts (1) and (2) have been proved in BBT-23; it does not state that part (3) has been resolved.
