We continue our work on variations of graded-polarized mixed Hodge structures by defining analogs of the harmonic metric equations for filtered bundles and proving a precise analog of Schmid's Nilpotent Orbit Theorem for 1-parameter degenerations of graded-polarized mixed Hodge structure.
Insprired by the work of C. Simpson, it is shown that every variation of graded-polarized mixed Hodge structure defined over Q gives rise to a natural Higgs field on the underlying vector bundle. In the context of Mirror Symmetry it is then shown that these Higgs fields share an intimate relationship with Quantum Cohomology.
