In this note we construct conifold transitions between several Calabi-Yau threefolds given by Pfaffians in weighted projective spaces and Calabi-Yau threefolds appearing as complete intersections in toric varieties. We use the obtained…
In this paper we present a construction of stable bundles on Calabi-Yau threefolds using the method of bundle extensions. This construction applies to any given Calabi-Yau threefold with h^{1,1}>1. We give examples of stable bundles of rank…
We explain an experimental method to find CY-type differential equations of order $3$ related to modular functions of genus zero. We introduce a similar class of Calabi-Yau differential equations of order $5$, show several examples and make…
In this article we investigate diffeomorphism classes of Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, we focus on those embedded in toric Fano manifolds. Along the way, we give various examples and conclude with a curious remark regarding mirror…
In the previous papers \cite{L1, L2} the author constructed Mabuchi and Aubin-Yau functionals over any complex surfaces and three-folds, respectively. Using the method in \cite{L2}, we construct those functionals over any complex manifolds…
We give a brief survey of abelian torsions of 3-manifolds.
These are notes from talks of the authors on some explicit examples of families of Calabi-Yau threefolds which are parametrised by a Shimura variety. We briefly review the periods of Calabi-Yau threefolds and we discuss a recent result on…
In this study, we introduce a new class of rational elliptic 3-folds, which we refer to as "1/2 Calabi-Yau 3-folds". We construct elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds by utilizing these rational elliptic 3-folds. The construction yields…
In this paper we discuss four methods of proving modularity of Calabi--Yau threefolds with $h^{12}=1$: existence of elliptic ruled surfaces inside (Hulek-Verrill), correspondence with a product of an elliptic curve and a K3 surface…
In this paper we deal with Calabi-Yau structures associated with (differential graded versions of) deformed multiplicative preprojective algebras, of which we provide concrete algebraic descriptions. Along the way, we prove a general result…
In this paper, we investigate the geometries associated with 3-forms of various orbital types on a symplectic 6-manifold. We show that there are extremely rich geometric structures attached to certain unstable 3-forms arising naturally from…
We prove that the automorphism group of a Calabi-Yau threefold with Picard number three is either finite, or isomorphic to the infinite cyclic group up to finite kernel and cokernel.
We formulate some precise conjectures concerning the existence and structure of supersymmetric T3 fibrations of Calabi-Yau threefolds, and describe how these conjectural fibrations would give rise to the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow version of…
Given X a K3 surface, a mirror dual to X can be identified with a component of the moduli space of semistable sheaves on X. We consider fibrations by K3 surfaces over a one dimensional base that are Calabi-Yau and we obtain a dual fibration…
We study the syzygetic structure of projections of del Pezzo surfaces in order to construct singular Calabi-Yau threefolds. By smoothing those threefolds, we obtain new examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard group of rank 1. We also…
We apply mirror symmetry to the super Calabi-Yau manifold CP^{(n|n+1)} and show that the mirror can be recast in a form which depends only on the superdimension and which is reminiscent of a generalized conifold. We discuss its geometrical…
We develop some computational methods for the integrals over the 3-chains on the compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds that plays a prominent role in the analysis of the topological B-model in the context of the open mirror symmetry. We discuss such…
We provide a fine classification of Gorenstein quotients of three-dimensional abelian varieties with isolated singularities, up to biholomorphism and homeomorphism. This refines a result of Oguiso and Sakurai about fibred Calabi-Yau…
Compactifications with fluxes and branes motivate us to study various enumerative invariants of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this paper, we study non-perturbative corrections depending on both open and closed string moduli for a class of…
