We reconsider the study of the geometric transitions and brane/flux dualities in various dimensions. We first give toric interpretations of the topology changing transitions in the Calabi-Yau conifold and the $Spin(7)$ manifold. The latter,…
We compute the elliptic genus of abelian 2d (0,2) gauge theories corresponding to brane brick models. These theories are worldvolume theories on a single D1-brane probing a toric Calabi-Yau 4-fold singularity. We identify a match with the…
Using mirror pairs (M_3, W_3) in type II superstring compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds, we study, geometrically, F-theory duals of M-theory on seven manifolds with G_2 holonomy. We first develop a way for getting Landau Ginzburg…
For each pair of elliptic Calabi--Yau $3$-folds in the list of Knapp--Scieidegger--Schimannek \cite{2107.05647}, we prove that they are derived-equivalent linear over the base. Except one self-dual pair, each yields two families of smooth…
The six-dimensional effective action of F-theory compactified on a singular elliptically fibred Calabi-Yau threefold is determined by using an M-theory lift. The low-energy data are derived by comparing a circle reduction of a general…
We show that the ring of regular functions of every smooth affine log Calabi-Yau surface with maximal boundary has a vector space basis parametrized by its set of integer tropical points and a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra structure with structure…
We consider the E8 x E8 heterotic string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds with bundles containing abelian factors in their structure group. Generic low energy consequences such as the generalised Green-Schwarz mechanism for the…
We explore the landscape of F-theory compactifications on Calabi--Yau fourfolds whose complex structure moduli space is the thrice-punctured sphere. As a first part, we enumerate all such Calabi--Yau fourfolds under the additional…
Calabi--Yau compactifications of the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string provide a promising route to recovering the four-dimensional particle physics described by the Standard Model. While the topology of the Calabi--Yau space determines the…
In F-theory compactifications, the abelian gauge sector is encoded in global structures of the internal geometry. These structures lie at the intersection of algebraic and arithmetic description of elliptic fibrations: While the…
This article is the PhD thesis of the author. It is focused on Type II compactifications because of the potential for the construction of realistic MSSM-like compactifications. In particular we concentrate in Type IIB Calabi-Yau…
We study a duality that relates the T^6/Z_2 orientifold with N=2 flux to standard fluxless Calabi-Yau compactifications of type IIA string theory. Using the duality map, we show that the Calabi-Yau manifolds that arise are abelian surface…
Motivated by SU(3) structure compactifications, we show explicitly how to construct half--flat topological mirrors to Calabi--Yau manifolds with NS fluxes. Units of flux are exchanged with torsion factors in the cohomology of the mirror;…
Borrowing ideas from elliptic complex geometry, we approach M-theory compactifications on real toric fibrations. Precisely, we explore real toric equations rather than complex ones exploited in F-theory and related dual models. These…
We study moduli stabilization of the F-theory compactified on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfold. Our setup is based on the mirror symmetry framework including brane deformations. The complex structure moduli dependence of the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be a rational elliptic curve. There is a smooth affine curve $Y_E(p)$ whose rational points parametrize elliptic curves $F/\mathbb{Q}$ such that $F[p]$ and $E[p]$ are isomorphic Galois modules.…
Using F-theory we construct 4D ${\cal N}=1$ SUGRA theories with the Standard Model gauge group, three chiral generations, and matter parity in order to forbid all dimension four baryon and lepton number violating operators. The underlying…
We derive four dimensional gauge theories with exceptional groups $F_4$, $E_8$, $E_7$, and $E_7$ with matter, by starting from the duality between the heterotic string on $K3$ and F-theory on a elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 3-fold. This…
We study the tuning of U(1) gauge fields in F-theory models on a base of general dimension. We construct a formula that computes the change in Weierstrass moduli when such a U(1) is tuned, based on the Morrison-Park form of a Weierstrass…
We prove a sort of reconstruction theorem for generic elliptic Calabi-Yau $3$-folds in the sense of C\u{a}ld\u{a}raru. From our argument it follows that two generic elliptic Calabi-Yau $3$-folds are derived-equivalent linear over the base…
