We prove a formula for the determinant of period integrals. Period integrals arise from comparison between Betti cohomologies and de Rham cohomologies. Our formula Theorem 1 in Section 4 expresses the determinant of period integrals as the product of the periods evaluated at the relative canonical cycles and special values of the Γ-function. The formula is a Hodge version of Theorem 1 of [S2] for `-adic cohomology. Together with this, it gives a motivic formula, Theorem 2 in Section 5. It particularly implies that the category of motives of rank 1 associated to an algebraic Hecke character is closed under taking the determinant of cohomology. Hence it gives a support to a conjecture of Deligne, Conjecture 8.1 iii [D4]; a motive of rank 1 is associated to an algebraic Hecke character. A typical example of our formula is that the period of a Fermat hypersurface is a product of special values of the Γ-function (cf. proof of Lemma 5.4). The main theorem for X = P is a reformulation of a theorem of the second named author [T], Theorem 1.2. The theorem is proved by reducing to this case by induction on dimension using a Lefschetz pencil. We describe the result. Let U be a smooth quasi-projective variety over a subfield k of C and F another subfield of C. The determinant of the periods, the main subject of the paper, is defined for a triple M = ((E ,∇), V, ρ) consisting of the following three data: (1) E is a locally free sheaf on U with an integrable connection ∇ regular singular along the boundary. It gives rise to a local system
