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.
Filipazzi, Hacon and Svaldi proved that there are only finitely many topological types of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. We explore the implications of their results on the boundedness of the geometric quantities in the…
In this review, we discuss the relevance and impact of studying Calabi-Yau threefolds in the context of global model building in string phenomenology. First, taking a phenomenologist-friendly approach, we review how the topologies of the…
We prove modularity for a huge class of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds over $\Q$. In particular we prove that every rigid Calabi-Yau threefold with good reduction at 3 and 7 is modular.
We describe a family of finite, four-dimensional, $L$-loop Feynman integrals that involve weight-$(L+1)$ hyperlogarithms integrated over $(L-1)$-dimensional elliptically fibered varieties we conjecture to be Calabi-Yau. At three loops, we…
We define an iterative construction that produces a family of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau $n$-folds with section from a family of elliptic Calabi-Yau varieties of one dimension lower. Parallel to the geometric construction, we…
We study certain polarized degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds near an intermediate complex structure limit, and improve the potential $C^0$-convergence to a metric convergence result on the generic region for the corresponding collapsing…
We study threefolds fibred by mirror quartic K3 surfaces. We begin by showing that any family of such K3 surfaces is completely determined by a map from the base of the family to the moduli space of mirror quartic K3 surfaces. This is then…
We study Kustin--Miller unprojections of Calabi--Yau threefolds. As an application we work out the geometric properties of Calabi--Yau threefolds defined as linear sections of determinantal varieties. We compute their Hodge numbers and…
We describe two ways to construct finite rational morphisms between fiber products of rational elliptic surfaces with section and some Calabi--Yau manifolds. We use them to construct correspondences between such fiber products that admit at…
We investigate the moduli theory of Calabi--Yau threefolds, and using Griffiths' work on the period map, we derive some finiteness results. In particular, we confirm a prediction of Morrison's Cone Conjecture.
We interpret infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of F-theory compactifications to six dimensions in the light of general ideas in quantum gravity. The limits we focus on arise from non-minimal singularities in the…
We study infinite distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of Type IIB compactifications on Calabi--Yau threefolds, in light of the Emergent String Conjecture. We focus on the so-called type II limits, which, based on the…
Complex structure moduli of a Calabi-Yau threefold in $N=1$ supersymmetric heterotic compactifications can be stabilized by holomorphic vector bundles. The stabilized moduli are determined by a computation of Atiyah class. In this paper, we…
The modular properties of some higher dimensional varieties of special Fano type are analyzed by computing the L-function of their $\Omega-$motives. It is shown that the emerging modular forms are string theoretic in origin, derived from…
In this paper, we investigate the geometries associated with 3-forms of various orbital types on a symplectic 6-manifold. We demonstrate that certain unstable 3-forms, which naturally emerge from specific degenerations of Calabi-Yau…
We construct examples of complete Calabi-Yau metrics on smoothings of 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau cones that are not products of lower-dimensional Calabi-Yau cones and that have orbifold singularities away from the vertex.
We propose a way to examine N=1 and N=2 string dualities on Calabi-Yau three-folds or extensions. Our way is to find out or to construct two types of toric representations of a Calabi-Yau three-fold, which contain phases topologically…
In this paper, we will construct new examples of derived equivalent Calabi--Yau 3-folds with Picard number greater than one. We also study their mirror Calabi--Yau manifolds and find that they are given by Schoen's fiber products of…
We study Calabi-Yau metrics on a projective manifold in K\"ahler classes converging to a semiample class given by a fibration. We show that the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of the metrics is homeomorphic to the base of the fibration and in…
