We make a conjecture about mean curvature flow of Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds, expanding on \cite{Th}. We give new results about the stability condition, and propose a Jordan-H\"older-type decomposition of (special)…
Via considerations of symplectic reduction, monodromy, mirror symmetry and Chern-Simons functionals, a conjecture is proposed on the existence of special Lagrangians in the hamiltonian deformation class of a given Lagrangian submanifold of…
The Gibbons-Hawking ansatz provides a large family of circle-invariant hyperkaehler 4-manifolds, and thus Calabi-Yau 2-folds. In this setting, we prove versions of the Thomas conjecture on existence of special Lagrangian representatives of…
Let $M$ be a Calabi-Yau $m$-fold, and consider compact, graded Lagrangians $L$ in $M$. Thomas and Yau math.DG/0104196, math.DG/0104197 conjectured that there should be a notion of "stability" for such $L$, and that if $L$ is stable then…
We prove a number of results relating various measures (volume, Legendrian index, stability index, and spectral curve genus) of the geometric complexity of special Lagrangian $T^2$-cones. We explain how these results fit into a program to…
We prove that compact Calabi--Yau varieties with certain isolated singularities are projective. In dimension 3 we do this by analysis, supposing given conifold metrics. In higher dimensions it follows more readily from Ohsawa's degenerate…
As part of his work on special Lagrangian (sLag) submanifolds with isolated conical singularities, Joyce proved a criterion for the existence of sLag smoothings, along a small variation of complex structure, for the union of two connected,…
We construct some examples of special Lagrangian submanifolds and Lagrangian self-similar solutions in almost Calabi-Yau cones over toric Sasaki manifolds. For example, for any integer g>0, we can construct a real 6 dimensional Calabi-Yau…
We prove a new rigidity criterion for families of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Motivated by known non-rigid examples, we conjecture that a family over a quasi-projective curve is rigid if it admits a smooth compactification whose…
We algebraically prove K-stability of polarized Calabi-Yau varieties and canonically polarized varieties with mild singularities. In particular, the} "stable varieties" introduced by Kollar-Shepherd-Barron and Alexeev, which form compact…
A stable generalized complex structure is one that is generically symplectic but degenerates along a real codimension two submanifold, where it defines a generalized Calabi-Yau structure. We introduce a Lie algebroid which allows us to view…
Compactifications of M-theory on singular manifolds contain additional charged massless states descending from M-branes wrapped on vanishing cycles. We construct the first explicit example of a complete supergravity Lagrangian that includes…
This article studies the deformation problem for compact special Lagrangians with boundary in a Calabi--Yau manifold, with each boundary component constrained along a given Lagrangian submanifold. The tangent vectors generating such…
In this paper, which is a natural continuation of our previous paper math.DG/0504557, we describe some special Lagrangians of cohomogeneity one in the resolved conifold. Our main result gives a foliation of the resolved conifold by…
We introduce special Lagrangian submanifolds in C^m and in (almost) Calabi-Yau manifolds, and survey recent results on singularities of special Lagrangian submanifolds, and their application to the SYZ Conjecture. The paper is aimed at…
We compute the mod $2$ cohomology groups of real Lagrangians in Calabi-Yau threefolds using well-behaved torus fibrations constructed by Gross. To do this we study a long exact sequence introduced by Casta\~{n}o-Bernard and Matessi, which…
Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be special Lagrangian submanifolds of a compact Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ that intersect transversely at a single point. We can then think of $M_1\cup M_2$ as a singular special Lagrangian submanifold of $X$ with a single…
The aim of this paper is to construct families of Calabi--Yau 3-folds without boundary points with maximal unipotent monodromy and to describe the variation of their Hodge structures. In particular five families are constructed. In all…
We study the existence of special Lagrangian submanifolds of log Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with the complete Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric constructed by Tian-Yau. We prove that if $X$ is a Tian-Yau manifold, and if the compact Calabi-Yau…
We find new examples of compact Spin(7)-manifolds using a construction of Joyce. The essential ingredient in Joyce's construction is a Calabi-Yau 4-orbifold with particular singularities admitting an antiholomorphic involution, which fixes…
