This paper is a sequel to math.AG/9810041 (whose abstract should have mentioned the fact that a version of the jacobi complex and higher-order Kodaira-Spencer maps were also discovered independently by Esnault and Viehweg). We give a…

We use F. Ferrari's methods relating matrix models to Calabi-Yau spaces in order to explain Intriligator and Wecht's ADE classification of $\N=1$ superconformal theories which arise as RG fixed points of $\N = 1$ SQCD theories with…

In this note, we prove combinatorial formulas for $h^{2,1}$ of prime toric divisors in an arbitrary toric hypersurface Calabi-Yau fourfold $Y_4.$ We show that it is possible to find a toric hypersurface Calabi-Yau in which there are more…

We give the geometric version of a construction of Colmez-Niziol which establishes a comparison theorem between arithmetic p-adic nearby cycles and syntomic sheaves. The local construction of the period isomorphism uses…

We compute the integral homology (including torsion), the topological K-theory, and the Hodge structure on cohomology of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces and complete intersections in Gorenstein toric Fano varieties. The methods are…

We prove the existence of global sections trivializing the Hodge bundles on the Hodge metric completion space of the Torelli space of Calabi--Yau manifolds, a global splitting property of these Hodge bundles. We also prove that a compact…

We identify the twisted sectors of a compact simplicial toric variety. We do the same for a generic nondegenerate Calabi-Yau hypersurface of an $n$-dimensional simplicial Fano toric variety and then explicitly compute $h^{1,1}_{orb}$ and…

We study the relationship between the period and the index of a principal homogeneous space over an abelian variety, obtaining results which generalize work of Cassels and Lichtenbaum on curves of genus one. In addition, we show that the…

In this thesis, we aim to develop p-adic analogs of known results for classical periods, focusing specifically on 1-motives. We establish an integration theory for 1-motives with good reductions, which generalizes the…

The secant variety of the Veronese surface is a singular cubic fourfold. Degenerations to this specific cubic fourfold and the associated limiting Hodge structures are key ingredients for Hassett and Laza in studying the moduli space of…

To a one-parameter family of Calabi-Yau threefolds, we can associate the extended period map by the log Hodge theory of Kato and Usui. In the present paper, we study the image of a maximally unipotent monodromy point under the extended…

We collect evidence in support of a conjecture of Griffiths, Green and Kerr on the arithmetic of extension classes of limiting mixed Hodge structures arising from semistable degenerations over a number field. After briefly summarizing how a…

The periods of the three-form on a Calabi-Yau manifold are found as solutions of the Picard-Fuchs equations; however, the toric varietal method leads to a generalized hypergeometric system of equations which has more solutions than just the…

We study the structure of rational Picard groups of hypersurfaces of toric varieties. By using the fan structure associated to the ambient toric variety, an explicit basis of the Picard group is described by certain combinatorial data. We…

A tautological system, introduced in [16][17], arises as a regular holonomic system of partial differential equations that govern the period integrals of a family of complete intersections in a complex manifold $X$, equipped with a suitable…

This is the second part in a series of papers on counting surfaces on Calabi-Yau 4-folds. In this paper, we introduce $K$-theoretic $\mathrm{DT}, \mathrm{PT}_0, \mathrm{PT}_1$ invariants and conjecture a $\mathrm{DT}$-$\mathrm{PT}_0$…

We construct symmetric monoidal higher categories of iterated Calabi-Yau cospans, that are noncommutative analogs of iterated lagrangian correspondences. We actually give a general (and functorial) procedure that applies to iterated…

We study periods in an integral basis near all possible singularities in one-dimensional complex structure moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Near large complex structure points these asymptotic periods are well understood in terms of…

Using the algebraic geometric approach of Berenstein et {\it al} (hep-th/005087 and hep-th/009209) and methods of toric geometry, we study non commutative (NC) orbifolds of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties with discrete torsion.…

By introducing a more flexible notion of convexity, we obtain a new Omori-Yau maximum principle for harmonic maps. In the spirit of the Calabi-Yau conjectures, this principle is more suitable for studying the unboundedness of certain…
