We study nodal complete intersection threefolds of type $(2,4)$ in $\PP^5$ which contain an Enriques surface in its Fano embedding. We completely determine Calabi-Yau birational models of a generic such threefold. These models have Hodge…
We study $I$-functions of Calabi--Yau 3-folds with Picard number one which are zero loci of general sections of direct sums of globally generated irreducible homogeneous vector bundles on Grassmannians.
We study various examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds over finite fields. In particular, we provide a counterexample to a conjecture of K. Joshi on lifting Calabi-Yau threefolds to characteristic zero. We also compute the p-adic cohomologies…
We develop the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds, by which we mean 3-dimensional complex manifolds with a nowhere-vanishing holomorphic 3-form, on manifolds with boundary. The boundary data is a closed, real 3-form on the…
We give a differential-geometric construction and examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds, at least one of which is {\it{new}}. Ingredients in our construction are {\it admissible pairs}, which were dealt with by Kovalev in \cite{K03} and further…
We continue the study of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry conjecture. Roughly put, this states that if two Calabi-Yau manifolds X and Y are mirror partners, then X and Y have special Lagrangian torus fibrations which are dual to…
Consider the ten-dimensional spinor variety in the projectivization of a half-spin representation of dimension sixteen. The intersection X of two general translates of this variety is a smooth Calabi-Yau fivefold, as well as the…
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…
Displays can be thought of as relative versions of Fontaine's notion of strongly divisible lattice from integral $p$-adic Hodge theory. In favourable circumstances, the crystalline cohomology of a smooth projective $R$-scheme $X$ is endowed…
We study Kustin-Miller unprojections between Calabi-Yau threefolds or more precisely the geometric transitions they induce. We use them to connect many families of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard number one to the web of Calabi Yau…
For any prime $p>5$ we construct a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ defined over a finite extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ such that every model of $X$ over $\operatorname{Spec}\mathcal{O}_K$ has singular special fiber, yet the Galois action on the…
We give an example of the recent proposed mirror construction of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow in ``Mirror Symmetry is T-duality,'' hep-th/9606040. The paper first considers mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces in light of this construction. We…
We describe a kind of deformation of the anti-DeRham algebra on a Calabi-Yau manifold $X$. These are in 1-1 correspondence with the total cohomology $\oplus H^i (X, \C)$.
We study the cohomology of a 1-parameter family Y_t of Calabi-Yau 3-folds introduced by Aspinwall and Morrison, related to the mirror quintic family. Szendr\H{o}i proved that Y_t, Y_{xi t}, ..., Y_{xi^4 t}, where xi is a fifth root of…
We construct Calabi-Yau 3-folds as orbifolds embedded in weighted projective space in codimension 4. For each Hilbert series that is realised, there are at least two different components of Calabi-Yau 3-folds.
Any irreducible Dynkin diagram $\Delta$ is obtained from an irreducible Dynkin diagram $\Delta_h$ of type $\mathrm{ADE}$ by folding via graph automorphisms. For any simple complex Lie group $G$ with Dynkin diagram $\Delta$ and compact…
We describe the proof that the period map from the Torelli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds to the classifying space of polarized Hodge structures is an embedding. The proof is based on the constructions of holomorphic affine structure on the…
In this paper, we establish the convergence for Gromov-Witten invariant of elliptic orbifold $\mathbb{P}^1$ with type $(3,3,3), (4,4,2)$ and $(6,3,2)$. We also prove the mirror theorems of Gromov-Witten theory for those orbifolds and FJRW…
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…
We generalize the cohomological mirror duality of Borcea and Voisin in any dimension and for any number of factors. Our proof applies to all examples which can be constructed through Berglund-H\"{u}bsch duality. Our method is a variant of…
