This is a survey of our recent work on degenerations of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with Kahler classes approaching the boundary of the Kahler cone.
This note is a summary of our work [OO] which provides an explicit and global moduli-theoretic framework for the collapsing of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics and we use it to study especially the K3 surfaces case. For instance, it allows us to…
For any elliptic K3 surface $\mathfrak{F}: \mathcal{K} \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$, we construct a family of collapsing Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics such that curvatures are uniformly bounded away from singular fibers, and which…
In this paper, we study the geometry of compact complex manifolds with Levi-Civita Ricci-flat metrics and prove that compact complex surfaces admitting Levi-Civita Ricci-flat metrics are Kahler Calabi-Yau surfaces or Hopf surfaces.
We study a class of asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics arising on quasiprojective manifolds. Using the Calabi--Yau geometry and analysis and the Kodaira--Kuranishi--Spencer theory and building up on results of N.Koiso…
We present a method to construct approximate analytic expressions for Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on Calabi-Yau threefolds with explicit dependence on the K\"ahler moduli. Our strategy combines numerical data obtained from machine learning…
We construct new examples of $t$-Gauduchon Ricci-flat metrics, for all $t<1$, on compact non-K\"{a}hler Calabi-Yau manifolds defined by certain principal torus bundles over rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number $\varrho(X) > 1$.…
Given a (smoothable) projective nodal K\"ahler Calabi-Yau threefold, we show, via a gluing construction, that all its - possibly non-K\"ahler - small resolutions admit Chern-Ricci flat balanced metrics, which among other things solve the…
We develop numerical methods for approximating Ricci flat metrics on Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective spaces. Our approach is based on finding balanced metrics, and builds on recent theoretical work by Donaldson. We illustrate our…
We study threefolds fibred by Kummer surfaces associated to products of elliptic curves, that arise as resolved quotients of threefolds fibred by certain lattice polarized K3 surfaces under a fibrewise Nikulin involution. We present a…
Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds play a ubiquitous role in string theory. As a supersymmetry-preserving choice for the 6 extra compact dimensions of superstring compactifications, these spaces provide an arena in which to explore the rich…
We outline a method to determine analytic K\"ahler potentials with associated approximately Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Key ingredients are numerically calculating Ricci-flat K\"ahler potentials via machine learning…
We study adiabatic limits of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a Calabi-Yau manifold which is the total space of a holomorphic fibration when the volume of the fibers goes to zero. By establishing some new a priori estimates for the relevant…
We improve Gross-Wilson's local estimates to global ones. As an application, we study the blow-up limits of the degenerating Calabi-Yau metrics on singular fibers.

Motivated by the study of collapsing Calabi-Yau threefolds with a Lefschetz K3 fibration, we construct a complete Calabi-Yau metric on $\mathbb{C}^3$ with maximal volume growth, which in the appropriate scale is expected to model the…
We study issues pertaining to the Ricci-flatness of metrics on orbifolds resolved by D-branes. We find a K\"ahler metric on the three-dimensional orbifold $\C^3/\Z_3$, resolved by D-branes, following an approach due to Guillemin. This…
Ricci flat metrics for Calabi-Yau threefolds are not known analytically. In this work, we employ techniques from machine learning to deduce numerical flat metrics for the Fermat quintic, for the Dwork quintic, and for the Tian-Yau manifold.…
