In order to support the odd moduli in models of (type IIB) string compactification, we classify the Calabi-Yau threefolds with h^{1,1}<=4 which exhibit pairs of identical divisors, with different line-bundle charges, mapping to each other…
The Castelnuovo bound conjecture, which is proposed by physicists, predicts an effective vanishing result for Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds of Picard number one. Previously, it is only known for a few cases and all the…
This is the extended version of the paper "Special Lagrangian conifolds, I: Moduli spaces", which discusses the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the…
In this work we study genus one fibrations in Calabi-Yau three-folds with a non-trivial first fundamental group. The manifolds under consideration are constructed as smooth quotients of complete intersection Calabi-Yau three-folds (CICYs)…
Calabi-Yau algebras are particularly symmetric differential graded algebras. There is a construction called `Calabi-Yau completion' which produces a canonical Calabi-Yau algebra from any homologically smooth dg algebra. Homologically smooth…
We study Calabi-Yau manifolds constructed as double covers of ${\mathbb P}^3$ branched along an octic surface. We give a list of 85 examples corresponding to arrangements of eight planes defined over ${\mathbb Q}$. The Hodge numbers are…
(1,d)-polarized abelian surfaces in P^(d-1) with two plane cubic curve fibrations lie in two elliptic P^2-scrolls. The union of these scrolls form a reducible Calabi-Yau 3-fold. In this paper we show that this occurs when d<10 and analyse…
We study noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds, their moduli spaces of vector bundles and deformation theory. We present Calabi-Yau threefolds that have infinitely many distinct deformations, constructing them explicitily, and describe the…
We construct an algebraic variety by resolving singularities of a quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. The middle cohomology of the threefold is shown to contain a piece coming from a pair of elliptic surfaces. The resulting quotient is a…
We develop new techniques to study regularity questions for moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that are multiply covered. Among the main results, we show that unbranched multiple covers of closed holomorphic curves are generically…
We study infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds. In F-theory compactifications to six dimensions, such limits include infinite-distance trajectories in the non-perturbative open…
In this study, we introduce a new class of rational elliptic 3-folds, which we refer to as "1/2 Calabi-Yau 3-folds". We construct elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds by utilizing these rational elliptic 3-folds. The construction yields…
We study the mod $2$ cohomology of real Calabi-Yau threefolds given by real structures which preserve the torus fibrations constructed by Gross. We extend the results of Casta\~no-Bernard-Matessi and Arguz-Prince to the case of real…
This manuscript from August 1995 (revised February 1996) studies the Kaehler cone of Calabi-Yau threefolds via symplectic methods. For instance, it is shown that if two Calabi-Yau threefolds are general in complex moduli and are symplectic…
We construct smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds Z, torus-fibered over a dP_9 base, with fundamental group Z_2 X Z_2. To do this, the structure of rational elliptic surfaces is studied and it is shown that a restricted subset of such surfaces…
The purpose of this paper is to prove a gluing theorem for a given special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. The proof will be an adaption of the gluing techniques in J-holomorphic curve theory. It is a well known procedure in…
Let X be an n-dimensional Calabi-Yau with ordinary double points, where n is odd. Friedman showed that for n=3 the existence of a smoothing of X implies a specific type of relation between homology classes on a resolution of X. (The…
Using a hyperK\"{a}hler rotation on complex structures of a Calabi-Yau 2-fold and rolling of an isotropic 2-submanifold in a symplectic 6-manifold, we construct, by gluing, a natural family of immersed Lagrangian deformations of a branched…
This is the sequel to arXiv:math/0001089. In this paper, we complete the promised description of moduli of abelian surfaces of low degree, covering the cases of degree (1,12), (1,14), (1,16), (1,18) and (1,20). In each case, we describe…
We give a criterion for a continuous family of curves on a nodal $K$-trivial threefold $X_0$ to contribute geometrically rigid curves to a general smoothing of $X_0$. As an application, we prove the existence of geometrically rigid curves…
