The notion of a d-critical locus is an ingredient in the definition of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants by [BJM19]. There is a canonical d-critical locus structure on the Hilbert scheme of dimension zero subschemes on local toric…

Let $(X,B)$ be a log canonical pair over a normal variety $Z$ with maximal Albanese dimension. If $K_X+B$ is relatively abundant over $Z$ (for example, $K_X+B$ is relatively big over $Z$), then we prove that $K_X+B$ is abundant. In…

The aim of this paper is to analyze some geometric properties of the rigid Calabi--Yau threefold $\mathcal{Z}$ obtained by a quotient of $E^3$, where $E$ is a specific elliptic curve. We describe the cohomology of $\mathcal{Z}$ and give a…

We prove that the automorphism group of a Calabi-Yau threefold with Picard number three is either finite, or isomorphic to the infinite cyclic group up to finite kernel and cokernel.

We verify the Morrison--Kawamata conjecture for a certain class of rational threefolds, namely blowups of P^3 in the base locus of a net of quadrics with no reducible members. This seems to be the first verified case of the conjecture for…

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 classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of 4 projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi-Yau 3-folds…

We give a differential-geometric construction of Calabi-Yau fourfolds by the `doubling' method, which was introduced in \cite{DY14} to construct Calabi-Yau threefolds. We also give examples of Calabi-Yau fourfolds from toric Fano fourfolds.…

In this article, we give a characterization of log Calabi--Yau pairs of complexity zero and arbitrary index. As an application, we show that a log Calabi--Yau pair of birational complexity zero admits a crepant birational model which is a…

Motivated by 5d rank 2 SCFTs, we construct a smooth, non-compact Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ containing a rank 2 shrinkable surface $S=S_1\cup S_2$ glued over a smooth curve. This construction will be a generalization of the construction of a…

Fix a Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ satisfying the Bogomolov-Gieseker conjecture of Bayer-Macr\`i-Toda, such as the quintic 3-fold. We express Joyce's generalised DT invariants counting Gieseker semistable sheaves of any rank $r\ge1$ on $X$ in…

Previously we constructed Calabi-Yau threefolds by a differential-geometric gluing method using Fano threefolds with their smooth anticanonical $K3$ divisors (New York J. Math. 20: 1-33, 2014). In this paper, we further consider the…

We show how an F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau (n+1)-fold in appropriate weak coupling limit reduces formally to an orientifold of type IIB theory compactified on an auxiliary complex n-fold. In some cases (but not always) if the…

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 prove a version of homological mirror symmetry statement for toric Calabi-Yau $3$-orbifolds, thus extending arXiv:1604.06448 to the case of orbifolds under the mirror symmetry setting considered in arXiv:1604.07123. The B-model is the…

We exhibit three double octic Calabi--Yau threefolds over the certain quadratic fields and prove their modularity. The non-rigid threefold has two conjugate Hilbert modular forms of weight [4,2] and [2,4] attached while the two rigid…

We consider rigid Calabi--Yau threefolds defined over $\QQ$ and the question of whether they admit quadratic twists. We give a precise geometric definition of the notion of a quadratic twists in this setting. Every rigid Calabi--Yau…

This paper continues the authors' program of studying mirror symmetry via log geometry and toric degenerations, relating affine manifolds with singularities, log Calabi-Yau spaces, and toric degenerations of Calabi-Yaus. The main focus of…

We construct an algebraic variety by resolving singularities of a quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. The middle cohomology of the threefold is shown to contain a piece coming from a pair of elliptic surfaces. The resulting quotient is a…

Call a projective variety $X$ Calabi-Yau if its canonical divisor is ${\bf Q}$-linearly equivalent to zero. The smallest positive integer $m$ with $mK_X$ linearly equivalent to zero is called the index of $X$. We construct Calabi-Yau…
