We introduce a linear algebraic object called a bidiagonal triple. A bidiagonal triple consists of three diagonalizable linear transformations on a finite-dimensional vector space, each of which acts in a bidiagonal fashion on the…
The elliptic quasimap potential function is explicitly calculated for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in projective spaces by Kim and Lho. We extend this result to local Calabi-Yau varieties. Using this as well as the wall crossing…
Mirror Symmetry, Picard-Fuchs equations and instanton corrected Yukawa couplings are discussed within the framework of toric geometry. It allows to establish mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau spaces for which the mirror manifold had been…
Given a right triangle and two inscribed squares, we show that the reciprocals of the hypotenuse and the sides of the squares satisfy an interesting Pythagorean equality. This gives new ways to obtain rational(integer)right triangles from a…
This short note is an extended abstract of a talk given at the conference "Komplexe Analysis" at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in September 2012. We explained some recent results about the existence of rational curves on…
Certain triangle inequalities involving the circumradius, inradius, and side lengths of a triangle are generalized to spherical and hyperbolic geometry. Examples include strengthenings of Euler's inequality, $R\geq2r$. An extension of…
A few years ago a connection between the elliptic genus of the K3 manifold and the largest Mathieu group M$_{24}$ was proposed. We study the elliptic genera for Calabi-Yau manifolds of larger dimensions and discuss potential connections…
This paper focuses on a topological version on the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry conjecture. Roughly put, the SYZ conjecture suggests that mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds are related by the existence of dual special Lagrangian…
A construction of Calabi-Yaus as quotients of products of lower-dimensional spaces in the context of weighted hypersurfaces is discussed, including desingularisation. The construction leads to Calabi-Yaus which have a fiber structure, in…
This work establishes a subtle connection between mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau threefolds and that of curves of higher genus. The linking structure is what we call a perverse curve. We show how to obtain such from Calabi-Yau threefolds in…
We prove an orbifold Riemann--Roch formula for a polarized 3--fold (X,D). As an application, we construct new families of projective Calabi--Yau threefolds.
Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals are completely classified in a series of three papers. This second one applies the powerful tool of trigonometric Diophantine equations to classify the case of…
We study two natural problems concerning the scalar and the Ricci curvatures of the Bismut connection. Firstly, we study an analog of the Yamabe problem for Hermitian manifolds related to the Bismut scalar curvature, proving that, fixed a…
We present a new derivation of the distance-dependent two-point function for planar Eulerian triangulations and give expressions for more refined generating functions where we also control hull perimeters. These results are obtained in the…
We study a projective Calabi-Yau threefold which has been constructed in an earlier paper. It is rigid and has Picard number two. We construct a pair of divisors which give a basis of the Picard group and determine all intersection numbers…
We introduce series-triangular graph embeddings and show how to partition point sets with them. This result is then used to improve the upper bound on the number of Steiner points needed to obtain compatible triangulations of point sets.…
We consider the conjecture by Aichholzer, Aurenhammer, Hurtado, and Krasser that any two points sets with the same cardinality and the same size convex hull can be triangulated in the "same" way, more precisely via \emph{compatible…
In this paper, we study the theory of orthogonal trigonometric polynomials (OTP). We obtain asymptotics of OTP with positive and analytic weight functions by Riemann-Hilbert approach and find they have relations with orthogonal polynomials…
Lucatelli Nunes obtained a 2-categorical version of the adjoint triangle theorem of Dubuc using the descent object of a specific diagram. In some cases, such a diagram can be filled with an extra cell. We show then how to obtain a biadjoint…
In recent years, there has been significant progress in the theory of orthogonal polynomials on algebraic curves, particularly on genus 1 surfaces. In this paper, we focus on elliptic orthogonal polynomials and establish several of their…
