We compute the integral homology (including torsion), the topological K-theory, and the Hodge structure on cohomology of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces and complete intersections in Gorenstein toric Fano varieties. The methods are…

We announce a result on quantum McKay correspondence for disc invariants of outer legs in toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds, and illustrate our method in a special example $[\mathbb C^3 /\mathbb Z_5 (1, 1, 3)]$.

We formulate a Crepant Resolution Correspondence for open Gromov-Witten invariants (OCRC) of toric Lagrangian branes inside Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds by encoding the open theories into sections of Givental's symplectic vector space. The…

Using the Rost invariant for torsors under Spin groups one may define an analogue of the Arason invariant for certain hermitian forms and orthogonal involutions. We calculate this invariant explicitly in various cases, and use it to…

In a previous paper, we presented a matrix model reproducing the topological string partition function on an arbitrary given toric Calabi-Yau manifold. Here, we study the spectral curve of our matrix model and thus derive, upon imposing…

Khovanov homology is a recently introduced invariant of oriented links in $\mathbb{R}^3$. It categorifies the Jones polynomial in the sense that the (graded) Euler characteristic of the Khovanov homology is a version of the Jones polynomial…

For any toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifold with transverse A-singularities, we prove Ruan's crepant resolution conjecture and the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence.

We study the boundary behavior of the invariant of $K3^{[2]}$-type manifolds with antisymplectic involution, which we obtained using equivariant analytic torsion. We show the algebraicity of the singularity of the invariant by using the…

We investigate orientifolds of type II string theory on K3 and Calabi-Yau 3-folds with intersecting D-branes wrapping special Lagrangian cycles. We determine quite generically the chiral massless spectrum in terms of topological invariants…

The BKMP conjecture (2006-2008), proposed a new method to compute closed and open Gromov-Witten invariants for every toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds, through a topological recursion based on mirror symmetry. So far, this conjecture had been…

The concept of non-Gorenstein involutions on Calabi-Yau threefolds is a higher dimensional generalization of non-symplectic involutions on $K3$ surfaces. We present some elementary facts about Calabi-Yau threefolds with non-Gorenstein…

Let $X$ be a complex four-dimensional compact Calabi-Yau manifold equipped with a K\"ahler form $\omega$ and a holomorphic four-form $\Omega$. Under certain assumptions, we define Donaldson-Thomas type deformation invariants by studying the…

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.

We introduce moduli spaces of stable perverse coherent systems on small crepant resolutions of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and consider their Donaldson-Thomas type counting invariants. The stability depends on the choice of a component (= a chamber)…

We propose localization techniques for computing Gromov-Witten invariants of maps from Riemann surfaces with boundaries into a Calabi-Yau, with the boundaries mapped to a Lagrangian submanifold. The computations can be expressed in terms of…

A type IIA string compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold which admits a K3 fibration is believed to be equivalent to a heterotic string in four dimensions. We study cases where a Calabi-Yau manifold can have more than one such fibration…

The versal deformation of Stanley-Reisner schemes associated to equivelar triangulations of the torus is studied. The deformation space is defined by binomials and there is a toric smoothing component which I describe in terms of cones and…

We prove that the Borcea-Voisin mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau threefolds admit projective birational models that satisfy the Berglund-H\"ubsch-Chiodo-Ruan transposition rule. This shows that the two mirror constructions provide the same mirror…

A few years ago, Fang, Lu and Yoshikawa conjectured that a certain string-theoretic invariant of Calabi-Yau threefolds is a birational invariant. We prove a weak form of this conjecture.

We compute Gromov-Witten (GW) and Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariants (and also descendant invariants) for local CY 4-folds over Fano 3-folds, V_5 and V_22 up to degree 3. We use torus localization for GW invariants computation, and use…
