In this paper we prove some rigidity theorems associated to $Q$-curvature analysis on asymptotically Euclidean (AE) manifolds, which are inspired by the analysis of conservation principles within fourth order gravitational theories. A…
We consider non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds that are fibrations over compact Riemann surfaces, the local curves, and study the dynamics of B-branes wrapped around the curves. We discuss different but closely related possible approaches to…
We present the study of type II A flux vacua and their M-theory duals for compactification on a class of Calabi-Yau orientifolds. The Kaehler potential is derived from toroidal compactifications and the superpotential contains a…
A well known result of Clemens and Griffiths says that a smooth cubic threefold can be recovered from its intermediate Jacobian. In this paper we discuss the possible degenerations of these abelian varieties, and thus give a description of…
In part I of this paper we constructed certain fibered Calabi-Yaus by a quotient construction in the context of weighted hypersurfaces. In this paper look at the case of K3 fibrations more closely and study the singular fibers which occur.…
We discuss two closely related Calabi-Yau theorems for degenerations of compact K\"ahler manifolds. The first is a Calabi-Yau theorem for big test configurations, that generalizes a result in [WN24]. It follows from recent joint work with…
We study Calabi--Yau 3-folds with infinitely many divisorial contractions. We also suggest a method to describe Calabi--Yau 3-folds with the infinite automorphism group.
In this article, we found a connection between Brown-York mass and the first Dirichlet Eigenvalue of a Schr\"odingier type operator. In particular, we proved a local positive mass type theorem for metrics conformal to the background one…
In this paper, we study the degeneration and stability of K\"ahler structures on Calabi--Yau manifolds, namely compact K\"ahler manifolds with trivial canonical bundles, from the viewpoint of deformation theory and Hodge theory. Using the…
We study topology change in M theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau three-folds in the presence of G flux (the four form field strength). In particular, we discuss vacuum solutions in strongly coupled heterotic string theory in which the…
The semistable minimal model program is a special case of the minimal model program concerning 3-folds fibred over a curve and birational morphisms preserving this structure. We classify semistable divisorial contractions which contract the…
We study functionals on the space of almost complex structures on a compact $\mathbb{C}$-manifold, whose variational properties could be used to tackle Yau's Challenge.
In the context of nanowire heterostructures we perform a discrete to continuum limit of the corresponding free energy by means of $\Gamma$-convergence techniques. Nearest neighbours are identified by employing the notions of Voronoi…
In this paper, by modifying the arguments in \cite{WY}, we get some rigidity theorems on compact manifolds with nonempty boundary. The results in this paper are similar with those in \cite{ST} and \cite{WY}. Like \cite{ST} and \cite{WY}, we…
In this paper, we describe the spaces of stability conditions for the triangulated categories associated to three dimensional Calabi-Yau fibrations. We deal with two cases, the flat elliptic fibrations and smooth K3 (Abelian) fibrations. In…
We prove general superrigidity results for actions of irreducible lattices on CAT(0) spaces; first, in terms of the ideal boundary, and then for the intrinsic geometry (including for infinite-dimensional spaces). In particular, one obtains…
We investigate Gromov-Witten invariants associated to exceptional classes for primitive birational contractions on a Calabi-Yau threefold X. It was observed in a previous paper that these invariants are locally defined, in that they can be…
We describe a connected component of the space of stability conditions on abelian threefolds, and on Calabi-Yau threefolds obtained as (the crepant resolution of) a finite quotient of an abelian threefold. Our proof includes the following…
We prove entropy rigidity for finite volume strictly convex projective manifolds in dimensions $\geq 3$, generalizing the work of arXiv:1708.03983 to the finite volume setting. The rigidity theorem uses the techniques of Besson, Courtois,…
We study D-branes on Calabi-Yau manifolds, carrying charges which are torsion elements of the K-theory. Interesting physics ensues when we follow these branes into nongeometrical phases of the compactification. On the level of K-theory, we…
