In this paper, we study the Calabi-Yau conjectures for complete minimal hypersurfaces $\Sigma^{n}\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ in dimensions $n\ge 3$. These conjectures ask whether a complete minimal hypersurface must be unbounded, and more…
In this paper, we partially extend recent results of Wan concerning the relationship between the zeta functions of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface and its (singular) mirror variety.
In this note an improvement of the Katz's bound on the number of elements in a finite field with given trace and norm is given. The improvement is obtained by reducing the problem to estimating the number of rational points on certain toric…
Recently, Haase and Ilten initiated the study of classifying algebraically hyperbolic surfaces in toric threefolds. We complete this classification for $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$, $\mathbb{P}^2 \times…
Let K be a complete discretely valued field with perfect residue field k. Assuming upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over k, we deduce corresponding upper bounds on the relation between period and index for…
We formulate a global conjecture for the automorphic period integral associated to the symmetric pairs defined by unitary groups over number fields, generalizing a theorem of Waldspurger's toric period for $\mathrm{GL}(2)$. We introduce a…
We study periodicity and twisted periodicity of the trivial extension algebra $T(A)$ of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$. Our main results show that (twisted) periodicity of $T(A)$ is equivalent to $A$ being (twisted) fractionally…
For schemes X over global or local fields, or over their rings of integers, K. Kato stated several conjectures on certain complexes of Gersten-Bloch-Ogus type, generalizing the fundamental exact sequence of Brauer groups for a global field.…
This paper focuses on a numerical invariant for local rings of characteristic $p$ called $h$-function, that recovers several important invariants, including the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, $F$-signature, $F$-threshold, and $F$-signature of…
In this paper, we derive the generalized hypergeometric functions (period integrals) used in mirror computation of Calabi-Yau hypersurface in $CP^{N-1}$ as generating functions of intersection numbers of the moduli space of quasimaps from…
We study arithmetic properties of certain quaternionic periods of Hilbert modular forms arising from base change of elliptic modular forms. These periods which we call the distinguished periods are closely related to the notion of…
This is a survey of the Kawamata-Morrison cone conjecture on the structure of Calabi-Yau varieties and more generally Calabi-Yau pairs. We discuss the proof of the cone conjecture for algebraic surfaces, with plenty of examples. We show…
For any degenerating Calabi-Yau family, we introduce new limit space which we call galaxy, whose dense subspace is the disjoint union of countably infinite open Calabi-Yau varieties, parametrized by the rational points of the…
There are easy "polynomial" deformations of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties performed by changing the coefficients of the defining polynomial of the hypersurface. In this paper, we explicitly constructed the ``non-polynomial''…
The space of unitary local systems of rank one on the complement of an arbitrary divisor in a complex projective algebraic variety can be described in terms of parabolic line bundles. We show that multiplier ideals provide natural…
Given a period map defined over a quasi-projective variety, we construct a completion with rich geometric and Hodge-theoretic meaning. This result may be regarded as an analog of Mumford's toroidal compactification for locally symmetric…
We discuss how the Gross-Siebert reconstruction theorem applies to the local mirror symmetry of Chiang, Klemm, Yau and Zaslow. The reconstruction theorem associates to certain combinatorial data a degeneration of (log) Calabi-Yau varieties.…
Using the general method which was applied to prove finiteness of the set of hyperbolic generalized Cartan matrices of elliptic and parabolic type, we classify all symmetric (and twisted to symmetric) hyperbolic generalized Cartan matrices…
We propose a new, conjectural recursion solution for Hurwitz numbers at all genera. This conjecture is based on recent progress in solving type B topological string theory on the mirrors of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds, which we briefly…
We compare the sets of Calabi-Yau threefolds with large Hodge numbers that are constructed using toric hypersurface methods with those can be constructed as elliptic fibrations using Weierstrass model techniques motivated by F-theory. There…
