Abstract

We study a class of Calabi-Yau varieties that can be represented as a non-singular model of a double covering of $\mathbb P^3$ branched along certain octic surfaces. We compute Euler numbers of all constructed examples and describe their resolution of singularities.

Keywords

calabi-yau varieties double covers projective space octic surfaces euler numbers resolution of singularities
