We present a list of Calabi-Yau threefolds known to us, and with holonomy groups that are precisely SU(3), rather than a subgroup, with small Hodge numbers, which we understand to be those manifolds with height $(h^{1,1}+h^{2,1})\le 24$.…
In this article, we study mirror symmetry for pairs of singular Calabi--Yau manifolds which are double covers of toric manifolds. Their period integrals can be seen as certain `fractional' analogues of those of ordinary complete…
At special loci in their moduli spaces, Calabi-Yau manifolds are endowed with discrete symmetries. Over the years, such spaces have been intensely studied and have found a variety of important applications. As string compactifications they…
The Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence claims that the Gromov-Witten invariant of the quintic Calabi-Yau 3-fold should be related to the Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten invariant of the associated Landau-Ginzburg model via wall crossings. In…
Using an inclusion of one reflexive polytope into another is a well-known strategy for connecting the moduli spaces of two Calabi-Yau families. In this paper we look at the question of when an inclusion of reflexive polytopes determines a…
We study the moduli space $\textsf{T}$ of the Calabi-Yau $n$-folds arising from the Dwork family and enhanced with bases of the $n$-th de Rham cohomology with constant cup product and compatible with Hodge filtration. We also describe a…
We construct a sequence of complete moduli spaces $$E_0 \subset E_1 \subset E_2 \subset \dots E_n \subset\dots,$$ each of which is isomorphic to a weighted projective space. These spaces parameterize certain $n$-dimensional Calabi-Yau…
Five dimensional field theories with exceptional gauge groups are engineered from degenerations of Calabi-Yau threefolds. The structure of the Coulomb branch is analyzed in terms of relative K\"ahler cones. For low number of flavors, the…
Building on classical invariant theory, it is observed that the polarised traces generate the centraliser $Z_L(sl(N))$ of the diagonal embedding of $U(sl(N))$ in $U(sl(N))^{\otimes L}$. The paper then focuses on $sl(3)$ and the case $L=2$.…
This paper initiates the study of a class of schemes that we call correspondence scrolls, which includes the rational normal scrolls and linearly embedded projective bundle of decomposable bundles, as well as degenerate K3 surfaces,…
We show how to construct supersymmetric three-generation models with gauge group and matter content of the Standard Model in the framework of non-simply-connected elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds Z. The elliptic fibration on a…
We discuss a method for classifying the singularity types of 1/2 Calabi-Yau 3-folds, a family of rational elliptic 3-folds introduced in a previous study in relation to various U(1) factors in 6D F-theory models. A projective dual pair of…
We prove the existence of asymptotically cylindrical (ACyl) Calabi-Yau 3-folds starting with (almost) any deformation family of smooth weak Fano 3-folds. This allow us to exhibit hundreds of thousands of new ACyl Calabi-Yau 3-folds;…
We prove a general theorem that gives a non trivial relation in the group of derived autoequivalences of a variety (or stack) X, under the assumption that there exists a suitable functor from the derived category of another variety Y…
We extend our model for affine structures on toric Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces math.AG/0205321 to the case of complete intersections.
We introduce relative noncommutative Calabi-Yau structures defined on functors of differential graded categories. Examples arise in various contexts such as topology, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. Our main result is a…
We describe pretty examples of derived equivalences and autoequivalences of Calabi-Yau threefolds arising from pencils of cubic fourfolds. The cubic fourfolds are chosen to be special, so they have an associated K3 surface. Thus a pencil…
Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth projective complex curve and $\mathfrak{g}$ a simple Lie algebra of type ${\sf ADE}$ with associated adjoint group $G$. For a fixed pair $(\Sigma, \mathfrak{g})$, we construct a family of quasi-projective Calabi-Yau…
In this paper we study the relationship between three compactifications of the moduli space of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a fixed Hermitian vector bundle over a projective algebraic manifold of arbitrary dimension. Via the…
We present a practical, algebraic method for efficiently calculating the Yukawa couplings of a large class of heterotic compactifications on Calabi-Yau three-folds with non-standard embeddings. Our methodology covers all of, though is not…
