We explain how to form a novel dataset of simply connected Calabi-Yau threefolds via the Gross-Siebert algorithm. We expect these to degenerate to Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces with certain Gorenstein (not necessarily isolated)…
We study the topology of a real Lagrangian in Schoen's Calabi--Yau threefold $X$ and compute its mod $2$ cohomology using two methods; first via a concrete Mayer--Vietoris calculation, then by an exact sequence relating the mod $2$…
We present an efficient method for computing the duality group $\Gamma$ of the moduli space \cM for strings compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold described by a two-moduli deformation of the quintic polynomial immersed in $\CP(4)$,…
In two recent papers, we described some Siegel modular threefolds which admit a weak Calabi--Yau model. Not all of them admit a {\it projective} model. The purpose of this paper is to exhibit criterions for the projectivity, to treat…
With a bird's-eye view, we survey the landscape of Calabi-Yau threefolds, compact and non-compact, smooth and singular. Emphasis will be placed on the algorithms and databases which have been established over the years, and how they have…
In this article, we develop new methods for counting integral orbits having bounded invariants that lie inside the cusps of fundamental domains for coregular representations. We illustrate these methods for a representation of cardinal…

Using the algebraic geometry method of Berenstein and Leigh (BL), hep-th/0009209 and hep-th/0105229), and considering singular toric varieties ${\cal V}_{d+1}$ with NC irrational torus fibration, we construct NC extensions ${\cal…
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…
We study Kustin--Miller unprojections of Calabi--Yau threefolds. As an application we work out the geometric properties of Calabi--Yau threefolds defined as linear sections of determinantal varieties. We compute their Hodge numbers and…
In the space of couplings of the 4D N=1 gauge theory associated to D3 branes probing Calabi-Yau singularities, there is a manifold over which superconformal invariance is preserved. The AdS/CFT correspondence is valid precisely for this…
We introduce unsupervised machine learning techniques in order to identify toric phases of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories corresponding to the same toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold. These 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories are worldvolume…
We shall reproof formulas for the Hodge numbers of Calabi-Yau threefolds of Borcea-Voisin type constructed by A. Cattaneo and A. Garbagnati, using the orbifold cohomology formula and the orbifold Euler characteristic.
Given an integer b and a finitely presented group G we produce a compact symplectic six-manifold with c_1 = 0, b_2 > b, b_3 > b and fundamental group G. In the simply-connected case we can also arrange for b_3 = 0; in particular these…
A novel method for computing torus amplitudes in orbifold compactifications is suggested. It applies universally for every Abelian $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$ orbifold without requiring the unfolding technique. This method follows from the possibility…
The study of the geometry of Calabi-Yau fourfolds is relevant for compactifications of string theory, M-theory, and F-theory to various dimensions. This work introduces the mathematical machinery to derive the complete moduli dependence of…
The aim of this paper is to analyze some geometric properties of the rigid Calabi--Yau threefold $\mathcal{Z}$ obtained by a quotient of $E^3$, where $E$ is a specific elliptic curve. We describe the cohomology of $\mathcal{Z}$ and give a…
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…
We present a complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifold Y that has Euler number -72 and which admits free actions by two groups of automorphisms of order 12. These are the cyclic group Z_12 and the non-Abelian dicyclic group Dic_3. The…
In this study, we analyze gauge groups in six-dimensional $N=1$ F-theory models. We construct elliptic Calabi-Yau 3-folds possessing various singularity types as double covers of "1/2 Calabi-Yau 3-folds", a class of rational elliptic…
