We prove the Feynman rule conjectured by Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa arXiv:hep-th/9309140 and the anomaly equations conjectured by Yamaguchi-Yau arXiv:hep-th/0406078 for the Gromov-Witten theory of the Calabi-Yau threefolds $Z_6 \subset…

We show that certain hypergeometric series used to formulate mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces, in string theory and algebraic geometry, satisfy a number of interesting properties. Many of these properties are used in separate…

We develop and apply the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formalism for quantizing off-diagonal solutions of the Einstein equations in general relativity. In the quasi-classical limit of quantum gravity, such solutions possess specific…

We conjecture that the relative Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic fibrations are (cycle-valued) lattice quasi-Jacobi forms and satisfy a holomorphic anomaly equation. We prove the conjecture for the rational elliptic surface in all…

We commend the authors for an exciting paper which provides a strong contribution to the emerging field of probabilistic numerics (PN). Below, we discuss aspects of prior modelling which need to be considered thoroughly in future work.

In this paper we mainly study Calabi-Yau varieties that arise as triple covers of products of projective lines branched along simple normal crossing divisors. For some of those families of Calabi-Yau varieties, the period maps factor…

These are mostly expository notes based on the course of lectures on arithmetic invariants of hyperbolic manifolds given at the workshop associated with the final "Volume Conference," held at Columbia University, June 2009. Some new results…

This is an extended abstract of a lecture held at the Conference ``Fourier and Radon transformations on symmetric spaces'' in honor of Professor S. Helgason's 65th birthday, Roskilde, Denmark, Sept. 10--12, 1992.

In this paper, we study the open topological string amplitudes on Calabi-Yau threefolds by the extended holomorphic anomaly equation. The disk two-point function determined by the domainwall tension, together with the Yukawa couplings,…

We present a detailed computation of the cyclic and the Hochschild homology and cohomology of generic and 3-Calabi-Yau homogeneous down-up algebras. This family was defined by Benkart and Roby in their study of differential posets. Our…

New developments in both the theories and experiments related to the extraction of the top-row Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements $V_{ud}$ and $V_{us}$ led to a series of new anomalies, for instance the apparent violation of the…

We define a family of 3-Calabi-Yau algebras by potentials. For some of these algebras, we explicitly compute the Hochschild homology with the help of Poisson homology. The point is that the Poisson potential has non-isolated singularities.

These are notes taken by the second author for a series of three lectures by the first author on absolute and relative Calabi-Yau completions and Calabi-Yau structures given at the workshop of the International Conference on Representations…

Six-dimensional supergravity theories with N=(1,0) supersymmetry must satisfy anomaly equations. These equations come from demanding the cancellation of gravitational, gauge and mixed anomalies. The anomaly equations have implications for…

This review gives an introduction to cohomological Donaldson-Thomas theory: the study of a cohomology theory on moduli spaces of sheaves on Calabi-Yau threefolds, and of complexes in 3-Calabi-Yau categories, categorifying their numerical DT…

Many topics are discussed in b physics including lifetimes, decay mechanisms, determinations of the CKM matrix elements |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|, facilities for b quark studies, neutral $B$ meson mixing, rare b decays, hadronic decays and CP…

These are expository lectures reviewing (1) recent developments in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, and (2) the construction of topological field theory Lagrangians. Topological field theory is discussed from the point of view of…

We prove a stronger version of the Kontsevich Formality Theorem for orientable manifolds, relating the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra of multivector fields and the homotopy BV algebra of multidifferential operators of the manifold.

This is an informal (and mostly conjectural) discussion of some aspects of Fukaya categories. We start by looking at exact symplectic manifolds which are obtained from a closed Calabi-Yau by removing a hyperplane section. We look at the…

We prove the Mirror Conjecture for Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Such manifolda are also known as complex manifolds of hyperkaehler type. We obtain that a complex manifold of hyperkaehler type is Mirror…
