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…
This paper contains a preliminary study of the monodromy of certain fourth order differential equations, that were called of Calabi-Yau type in math.NT/0402386. Some of these equations can be interpreted as the Picard-Fuchs equations of a…
In this paper we study varieties covered by rational or elliptic curves. First, we show that images of Calabi-Yau or irreducible symplectic varieties under rational maps are almost always rationally connected. Second, we investigate…
Calabi-Yau manifolds have played a key role in both mathematics and physics, and are particularly important for deriving realistic models of particle physics from string theory. Unfortunately, very little is known about the explicit metrics…
We introduce a class of dg-algebras which generalize the classical Brauer graph algebras. They are constructed from mixed-angulations of surfaces and often admit a (relative) Calabi--Yau structure. We discovered these algebras through two…
Let X and Y be two smooth projective n-dimensional algebraic varieties X and Y over C with trivial canonical line bundles. We use methods of p-adic analysis on algebraic varieties over local number fields to prove that if X and Y are…
The first part of this paper discusses general procedures for finding numerical approximations to distinguished Kahler metrics, such as Calabi-Yau metrics, on complex projective manifolds. These procedures are closely related to ideas from…
In this short note we discuss ordinary differential equations which linearize upon one (or more) differentiations. Although the subject is fairly elementary, equations of this type arise naturally in the context of integrable systems.
We study the Poincare polynomials of all known Calabi-Yau three-folds as constrained polynomials of Littlewood type, thus generalising the well-known investigation into the distribution of the Euler characteristic and Hodge numbers. We find…
Analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations in the frames of the algebraic approach to systems of partial differential equations (formal theory of differential equations) is presented.
In 2009, Claire Amiot gave a construction of Calabi-Yau structures on Verdier quotients. We sketch how to lift it to the dg setting. We use this construction as an important step in an outline of the proof of her conjecture on the structure…
We explore the distribution of topological numbers in Calabi-Yau manifolds, using the Kreuzer-Skarke dataset of hypersurfaces in toric varieties as a testing ground. While the Hodge numbers are well-known to exhibit mirror symmetry,…
Calabi-Yau differential equations of various origins are used to find generalized J-functions. From their values of them. numerous conjectured formulas for 1/Pi are constructed.
We apply a universal normal Calabi-Yau algebra to the construction and classification of compact complex $n$-dimensional spaces with SU(n) holonomy and their fibrations. This algebraic approach includes natural extensions of reflexive…
It is proposed that certain techniques from arithmetic algebraic geometry provide a framework which is useful to formulate a direct and intrinsic link between the geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds and the underlying conformal field theory.…
We review briefly the characteristic topological data of Calabi--Yau threefolds and focus on the question of when two threefolds are equivalent through related topological data. This provides an interesting test case for machine learning…
We establish a system of formal noncommutative calculus for differential forms and polyvector fields, which forms the foundations for the study of pre-Calabi-Yau categories. Using an explicit trace map, we show that any $n$-Calabi-Yau…
The abstract notion of Tamarkin-Tsygan calculus with duality gives Batalin- Vilkovisky structures in a general setting. We apply this technique to the case of Van den Bergh duality for algebras to prove that Calabi-Yau algebras are…
Birational Calabi-Yau threefolds in the same deformation family provide a `weak' counterexample to the global Torelli problem, as long as they are not isomorphic. In this paper, it is shown that deformations of certain desingularized…
Large N geometric transitions and the Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecture suggest a deep relationship between the sum over planar diagrams and Calabi-Yau threefolds. We explore this correspondence in details, explaining how to construct the…
