We compute the full classical 4d scalar potential of type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of fluxes and D6-branes. We show that it can be written as a bilinear form $V = Z^{AB} \rho_A\rho_B$, where the $\rho_A$ are in one-to-one…
We introduce and investigate new invariants on the pair of modules $M$ and $N$ over quantum affine algebras $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$ by analyzing their associated R-matrices. From new invariants, we provide a criterion for a monoidal category…
Tadpole cancellation in F-theory on an elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfold $X\to B_3$ demands some spacetime-filling three-branes (points in $B_3$). If moved to the discriminant surface, which supports the gauge group, and dissolved into a finite…
We introduce a double framing construction for moduli spaces of quiver representations. It allows us to reduce certain sheaf cohomology computations involving the universal representation, to computations involving line bundles, making them…
The aim of this paper is to construct families of Calabi--Yau 3-folds without boundary points with maximal unipotent monodromy and to describe the variation of their Hodge structures. In particular five families are constructed. In all…
We study Arinkin's Poincar\'e sheaf $\mathcal{P}_C$ on the singular locus of $\overline{\mathsf{Jac}}_C$, the compactified Jacobian of rank one torsion-free sheaves on an integral nodal projective curve $C$. Each stratum of the singular…
We study supersymmetric indices of the 6d $(2,0)$ theory of $N$ M5-branes on toric Sasaki-Einstein five-manifolds. Embedding the background into a local toric Calabi-Yau four-fold and equivariantly integrating the anomaly polynomial yields…
In this note we search the parameter space of Horrocks-Mumford quintic threefolds and locate a Calabi-Yau threefold which is modular, in the sense that the L-function of its middle-dimensional cohomology is associated to a classical modular…
This paper studies stable sheaves on abelian surfaces of Picard number one. Our main tools are semi-homogeneous sheaves and Fourier-Mukai transforms. We introduce the notion of semi-homogeneous presentation and investigate the behavior of…
In the prequel to this paper, two versions of Le Potier's strange duality conjecture for sheaves over abelian surfaces were studied. A third version is considered here. In the current setup, the isomorphism involves moduli spaces of sheaves…
We investigate F-theory on an elliptic Calabi-Yau 4-fold without a section to the fibration. To construct an elliptic Calabi-Yau 4-fold without a section, we introduce families of elliptic K3 surfaces which do not admit a section. A product…
We present an efficient method for computing the duality group $\Gamma$ of the moduli space \cM for strings compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold described by a two-moduli deformation of the quintic polynomial immersed in $\CP(4)$,…
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…
We study low-degree curves on one-parameter Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces, and their contribution to the space-time superpotential in a superstring compactification with D-branes. We identify all lines that are invariant under at least one…
We apply a universal normal Calabi-Yau algebra to the construction and classification of compact complex $n$-dimensional spaces with SU(n) holonomy and their fibrations. This algebraic approach includes natural extensions of reflexive…
We revisit open string mirror symmetry for the elliptic curve, using matrix factorizations for describing D-branes on the B-model side. We show how flat coordinates can be intrinsically defined in the Landau-Ginzburg model, and derive the…
Recent advances in 11 dimensional Horava-Witten M-theory based on non-standard embeddings with torus fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds have allowed the construction of three generation models with Wilson line breaking to the Standard Model gauge…
The moduli dependence of D4-branes on a Calabi-Yau manifold is studied using attractor flow trees, in the large volume limit of the Kahler cone. One of the moduli dependent existence criteria of flow trees is the positivity of the flow…
Consider the diagonal action of the special orthogonal group on the direct sum of a finite number of copies of the standard representation--the underlying field is assumed to be algebraically closed and of characteristic not equal to two.…
We derive a structure of $\mathbb{Z}[t,t^{-1}]$-module bundle from a family of Yang-Yang functions. For the fundamental representation of the complex simple Lie algebra of classical type, we give explicit wall-crossing formula and prove…
