Calabi-Yau manifolds can be obtained as hypersurfaces in toric varieties built from reflexive polytopes. We generate reflexive polytopes in various dimensions using a genetic algorithm. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate that our…

If A is a strongly noetherian graded algebra generated in degree one, then there is a canonically constructed graded ring homomorphism from A to a twisted homogeneous coordinate ring B(X, L, sigma), which is surjective in large degree. This…

We use arithmetic and Hodge-theoretic techniques to study pencils of Calabi-Yau varieties realized as highly symmetric hypersurfaces in Grassmannians and their quotients, demonstrating that their geometric properties are distinct from the…

We show that crystals with the properties of crystalline cohomology of ordinary Calabi-Yau threefolds in characteristic p>0, exhibit a remarkable similarity with the well known structure on the cohomology of complex Calabi-Yau threefolds…

For moduli of polarized smooth K-trivial a.k.a., Calabi-Yau varieties in a general sense, we revisit a classical problem of constructing its "weak K-moduli" compactifications which parametrizes K-semistable (i.e., semi-log-canonical…

In this paper, we study the convergence of Calabi-Yau manifolds under K\"{a}hler degeneration to orbifold singularities and complex degeneration to canonical singularities (including the conifold singularities), and the collapsing of a…

Using the algebraic geometric approach of Berenstein et {\it al} (hep-th/005087 and hep-th/009209) and methods of toric geometry, we study non commutative (NC) orbifolds of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties with discrete torsion.…

Any Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra with a homotopy trivialization of the BV-operator gives rise to a hypercommutative algebra structure at the cochain level which, in general, contains more homotopical information than the hypercommutative…

We introduce the notion of birational complexity of a log Calabi-Yau pair. This invariant measures how far the log Calabi-Yau pair is to being birational to a toric pair. We study fundamental properties of the new invariant, with a…

We present a study of certain singular one-parameter subfamilies of Calabi-Yau threefolds realized as anticanonical hypersurfaces or complete intersections in toric varieties. Our attention to these families is motivated by the Doran-Morgan…

For a log Calabi Yau pair (X,D) with X\D smooth affine, satisfying either assumption 1.1 of "The canonical wall structure and intrinsic mirror symmetry" or contains a Zariski dense torus, we prove under the condition that D is the support…

We provide a sufficient condition for a general hypersurface in a $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric variety to be a Calabi-Yau variety in terms of its Newton polytope. Moreover, we define a generalization of the Berglund-H\"ubsch-Krawitz construction…

We present a novel way to classify Calabi-Yau threefolds by systematically studying their infinite volume limits. Each such limit is at infinite distance in Kahler moduli space and can be classified by an associated limiting mixed Hodge…

It is frequently possible to produce new Calabi-Yau threefolds from old ones by a process of allowing the complex structure to degenerate to a singular one, and then performing a resolution of singularities. (Some care is needed to ensure…

We derive the period structure of several one-modulus Calabi-Yau manifolds. With this knowledge we then obtain the generators of the duality group and the mirror map that defines the physical variable $t$ representing the radius of…

Degenerate contributions to higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds are computed via Hodge integrals. The vanishing of contributions of covers of elliptic curves conjectured by Gopakumar and Vafa is proven. A formula for…

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.

The structure of the Euler-Lagrange equations for a general Lagrangian theory is studied. For these equations we present a reduction procedure to the so-called canonical form. In the canonical form the equations are solved with respect to…

We investigate topological properties of Calabi-Yau fourfolds and consider a wide class of explicit constructions in weighted projective spaces and, more generally, toric varieties. Divisors which lead to a non-perturbative superpotential…

R-matrix is explicitly constructed for simplest representations of the Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra. The calculation is straightforward and significantly simpler than the one through the universal R-matrix used for a similar calculation in the…
