This is proved using a space of symmetrizers as defined by Donagi, to identify a geometric structure carried by the variety of all infinitesimal variations of Hodge structure.Accepted for publication by the Duke Mathematical JournalAlgebraic Geometry14D07Non-genericity of variations of Hodge structure for hypersurfaces of high degreetext
