We give an algebraic characterisation for the triviality of the canonical bundle of a complex supermanifold in terms of a certain Batalin-Vilkovisky superalgebra structure. As an application, we study the Calabi-Yau case, in which an…

Batyrev constructed a family of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces dual to the first Chern class in toric Fano varieties. Using this construction, we introduce a family of Calabi-Yau manifolds whose SU-bordism classes generate the special unitary…

In part I of this work we studied the spaces of real algebraic cycles on a complex projective space P(V), where V carries a real structure, and completely determined their homotopy type. We also extended some functors in K-theory to…

Double EPW quartics are hyperk\"ahler varieties of dimension 4, first introduced by Iliev, Kapustka, Kapustka, and Ranestad. The general double EPW quartic is isomorphic to a moduli space of twisted sheaves on a $K3$ surface. They have a…

Let M(2;0,3) be the moduli space of rank-2 stable vector bundles with Chern classes c_1=0, c_2=3 on the Fano threefold X, the double solid of index two. We prove that the vector bundles obtained by Serre's construction from smooth elliptic…

"Quaternionic" vector bundles are the objects which describe the topological phases of quantum systems subjected to an odd time-reversal symmetry (class AII). In this work we prove that the FKMM invariant provides the correct fundamental…

We construct a pairing, which we call factorization homology, between framed manifolds and higher categories. The essential geometric notion is that of a vari-framing of a stratified manifold, which is a framing on each stratum together…

The aim of this article is to establish the notion of bundle-type quasitoric manifolds and provide two classification results on them: (1) ($\mathbb{C}P^2\sharp\mathbb{C}P^2$)-bundle type quasitoric manifolds are weakly equivariantly…

We conduct a systematic search of codimension 2 Complete Intersection Calabi--Yau threefolds (CICY3) in rank 2 toric ambient spaces and fibered by complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in $\C\P^4$. We classify both the nonsingular…

We derive the complete supergravity description of the N=2 scalar potential which realizes a generic flux-compactification on a Calabi-Yau manifold (generalized geometry). The effective potential V_{eff}=V_{(\partial_Z V=0)}$, obtained by…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface. A quadratic pair on $X$ consists of a holomorphic vector bundle with a quadratic form which takes values in fixed line bundle. We show that the moduli spaces of quadratic pairs of rank 2 are connected…

We solve a problem posed by Cardinali and Sastry [2] about factorization of $2$-covers of finite classical generalized quadrangles. To that end, we develop a general theory of cover factorization for generalized quadrangles, and in…

Motivated by and extending the technical results in our earlier work on symplectic Calabi-Yau $4$-manifolds, a general and systematic approach for studying certain unions of symplectic embedded surfaces in a rational $4$-manifold $X=CP^2\#…

We determine the squarefree part of the scalar factor that arises when the quartic invariant of the generic binary form $F$ of odd degree $2n+1$ is expressed as the discriminant of the unique quadratic covariant $(F,F)_{2n}$. This…

We classify all complete non-singular toric varieties with Picard number four via a combinatorial framework based on fanlike simplicial spheres and characteristic maps. This classification yields $59$ fanlike seeds with Picard number four,…

In this paper, an explicit classification result for certain 5-manifolds with fundamental group Z/2 is obtained. These manifolds include total spaces of circle bundles over simply-connected 4-manifolds.

There is a well-known correspondence between the symplectic variety of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact Lie group G, with fixed conjugacy classes at the punctures, and a complex variety…

We prove a reconstruction theorem \`a la Calabrese-Groechenig for the moduli space parametrizing skyscraper sheaves on a smooth projective variety when these are considered as a system of points in the dg category of perfect complexes on…

We study two rational Fano threefolds with an action of the icosahedral group $\mathfrak{A}_5$. The first one is the famous Burkhardt quartic threefold, and the second one is the double cover of the projective space branched in the Barth…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional complex Fano manifolds $(n\geq 3)$. Assume that $X$ contains a divisor $A$, which is isomorphic to a rational homogeneous space with Picard number one, such that the conormal bundle $\mathscr{N}^*_{A/X}$ is…
