The zeroth line bundle cohomology on Calabi-Yau three-folds encodes information about the existence of flop transitions and the genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants. We illustrate this claim by studying several Picard number 2 Calabi-Yau…

We view Dolbeault-Morse-Novikov cohomology H^{p,q}_\eta(X) as the cohomology of the sheaf \Omega_{X,\eta}^p of \eta-holomorphic p-forms and give several bimeromorphic invariants. Analogue to Dolbeault cohomology, we establish the…

Let $Y$ be a smooth projective threefold and let $f:Y\to X$ be a birational map with $Rf_*\mathcal{O}_Y=\mathcal{O}_X$. When $Y$ is Calabi-Yau, Bryan-Steinberg defined enumerative invariants associated to such maps called $f$-relative…

We produce counterexamples to the birational Torelli theorem for Calabi-Yau manifolds in arbitrarily high dimension: this is done by exhibiting a series of non birational pairs of Calabi-Yau $(n^2-1)$-folds which, for $n \geq 2$ even, admit…

This survey covers recent developments on the geometry and physics of Looijenga pairs, namely pairs $(X,D)$ with $X$ a complex algebraic surface and $D$ a singular anticanonical divisor in it. I will describe a surprising web of…

In analogy with the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture on CY 3-folds, Klemm and Pandharipande defined GV type invariants on Calabi-Yau 4-folds using Gromov-Witten theory and conjectured their integrality. In this paper, we propose a sheaf-theoretic…

Let X and Y be two smooth projective n-dimensional algebraic varieties X and Y over C with trivial canonical line bundles. We use methods of p-adic analysis on algebraic varieties over local number fields to prove that if X and Y are…

We study four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory in the presence of surface and point-like defects (blowups) and propose an identity relating partition functions at different values of $\Omega$-deformation parameters…

Minimal BCOV theory is a classical field theory which describes a subclass of deformations of the category of perfect complexes on a Calabi-Yau variety. We compute minimal models for $L_\infty$-algebras describing minimal BCOV theory and…

We construct curve counting invariants for a Calabi-Yau threefold $Y$ equipped with a dominant birational morphism $\pi:Y \to X$. Our invariants generalize the stable pair invariants of Pandharipande and Thomas which occur for the case when…

We review some recent results on the modularity of non-rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds.

We study a conjectural relationship among Donaldson-Thomas type invariants on Calabi-Yau 3-folds counting torsion sheaves supported on ample divisors, ideal sheaves of curves and Pandharipande-Thomas's stable pairs. The conjecture is a…

This paper studies irregularity-type invariants of special C-pairs, or "geometric orbifolds" in the sense of Campana. Under mild assumptions on the singularities, we show that the augmented irregularity of a C-pair (X,D) is bounded by its…

We prove an open version of Ruan's Crepant Transformation Conjecture for toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds, which is an identification of disk invariants of K-equivalent semi-projective toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds relative to corresponding…

This is the second part of our ongoing project on the relations between Gopakumar-Vafa BPS invariants (GV) and quantum K-theory (QK) on the Calabi--Yau threefolds (CY3). We show that on CY3 a genus zero quantum K-invariant can be written as…

We develop a theory of Gopakumar-Vafa (GV) invariants for a Calabi-Yau threefold (CY3) $X$ which is equipped with an involution $\imath$ preserving the holomorphic volume form. We define integers $n_{g,h}(\beta) $ which give a virtual count…

Consider the ten-dimensional spinor variety in the projectivization of a half-spin representation of dimension sixteen. The intersection X of two general translates of this variety is a smooth Calabi-Yau fivefold, as well as the…

We study the volumes of divisors in Calabi--Yau type varieties. We show that given a klt Calabi--Yau pair $(X,B)$ and an integral divisor $A$ on $X$, the volume of $A$ is in a fixed discrete set depending only on the dimension and…

In this article, we consider the phenomenon of complete coincidence of the key properties of pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds realized as hypersurfaces in two different weighted projective spaces. More precisely, the first manifold in such a…

We provide a sufficient condition for a general hypersurface in a $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric variety to be a Calabi-Yau variety in terms of its Newton polytope. Moreover, we define a generalization of the Berglund-H\"ubsch-Krawitz construction…
