Gromov-Witten theory is used to define an enumerative geometry of curves in Calabi-Yau 5-folds. We find recursions for meeting numbers of genus 0 curves, and we determine the contributions of moving multiple covers of genus 0 curves to the…
In this paper we develop a bridge between model theory, geometric topology, and geometric group theory. In particular, we investigate the Ivanov Metaconjecture from the point of view of model theory, and more broadly we seek to answer the…
We discuss derived categories of coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties. We focus on the case of non-singular Calabi-Yau varieties and consider two unsolved problems: proving that birational varieties have equivalent derived categories,…
Considering the complex n-dimension Calabi-Yau homogeneous hyper-surfaces ${\cal H}_{n}$ and using algebraic geometry methods, we develop the crossed product algebra method, introduced by Berenstein et Leigh in hep-th/0105229, and build the…
To a complex symplectic manifold X we associate a canonical quantization algebroid. Our construction is similar to that of Polesello-Schapira's deformation-quantization algebroid, but the deformation parameter is no longer central. If X is…
This paper first generalises the Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov unobstructedness theorem to the case of Calabi-Yau threefolds with canonical singularities. The deformation space of such a Calabi-Yau threefold is no longer smooth, but the general…
This paper contains an attempt to formulate rigorously and to check predictions in enumerative geometry of curves following from Mirror Symmetry. The main tool is a new notion of stable map. We give an outline of a contsruction of…
A double cover $Y$ of $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^2$ ramified over a general $(2,2)$-divisor will have the structure of a geometrically standard conic bundle ramified over a smooth plane quartic $\Delta \subset \mathbb{P}^2$ via the…
This paper is concerned with rational curves on real classical groups. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) We determine the structure of quadratic rational curves on real classical groups. As a consequence, we completely classify…
We develop some consequences of the connection between Calabi-Yau structures and torsion-free $G_2$ structures on compact and asymptotically cylindrical six- and seven-dimensional manifolds. Firstly, we improve the known proof that matching…
Using the algebraic geometry method of Berenstein et al (hep-th/0005087), we reconsider the derivation of the non commutative quintic algebra ${\mathcal{A}}_{nc}(5)$ and derive new representations by choosing different sets of Calabi-Yau…
The overarching goal of this thesis was to develop categorical methods that connect enumerative geometry, as studied in mirror symmetry, with large $N$ gauge theories. In the first part, we established a relation between graph complexes,…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a smooth proper C-linear triangulated category Calabi-Yau of dimension 3 endowed with a (non-trivial) rank function. Using the homological unit of $\mathcal{A}$ with respect to the given rank function, we define Hodge…
One way to understand the deformation theory of a tensor category $M$ is through its Davydov-Yetter cohomology $H_{DY}^{\ast}(M)$ which in degree 3 and 4 is known to control respectively first order deformations of the associativity…
For various 2-Calabi-Yau categories $\mathscr{C}$ for which the stack of objects $\mathfrak{M}$ has a good moduli space $p\colon\mathfrak{M}\rightarrow \mathcal{M}$, we establish purity of the mixed Hodge module complex…
In this paper, we continue the study of boundedness questions for (simply connected) smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds commenced in arXiv:1706.01268. The diffeomorphism class of such a threefold is known to be determined up to finitely many…
Motivated by S-duality modularity conjectures in string theory, we define new invariants counting a restricted class of 2-dimensional torsion sheaves, enumerating pairs $Z\subset H$ in a Calabi-Yau threefold X. Here H is a member of a…
Let H_c be the rational Cherednik algebra of type A_{n-1} with spherical subalgebra U_c = eH_ce. Then U_c is filtered by order of differential operators, with associated graded ring gr U_c = C[h+h*]^W, where W is the n-th symmetric group.…
The period geometry of Calabi-Yau $n$-folds, characterised by their variations of Hodge structure governed by Griffiths transversality, a graded Frobenius algebra, an integral monodromy and an intriguing arithmetic structure, is analysed…
There is a set of remarkable physical predictions for the structure of BCOV's higher genus B-model of mirror quintic 3-folds which can be viewed as conjectures for the Gromov-Witten theory of quintic 3-folds. They are (i) Yamaguchi--Yau's…
