Witten's topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau background is known to reproduce, in the open string sector, the derived category of coherent sheaves. When the target space is a complex torus, the topological model enjoys a non-geometric…
In this PhD thesis, we have studied certain geometric structures over Lie groupoids and differentiable stacks. This thesis is based on the work [arXiv:2103.04560, arXiv:2012.08447, arXiv:2012.08442, arXiv:1907.00375]. In [arXiv:1907.00375],…
This paper gives a leisurely introduction to Calabi-Yau manifolds and special Lagrangian submanifolds from the differential geometric point of view, followed by a survey of recent results on singularities of special Lagrangian submanifolds,…
We study higher-form symmetries in 5d quantum field theories, whose charged operators include extended operators such as Wilson line and 't Hooft operators. We outline criteria for the existence of higher-form symmetries both from a field…
We analyze the topological nature of $c=1$ string theory at the self--dual radius. We find that it admits two distinct topological field theory structures characterized by two different puncture operators. We show it first in the…
We prove the Mirror Conjecture for Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with a holomorphic symplectic form. Such manifolda are also known as complex manifolds of hyperkaehler type. We obtain that a complex manifold of hyperkaehler type is Mirror…
It is proposed that certain techniques from arithmetic algebraic geometry provide a framework which is useful to formulate a direct and intrinsic link between the geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds and the underlying conformal field theory.…
Generalized Calabi-Yau structures, a notion recently introduced by Hitchin, are studied in the case of K3 surfaces. We show how they are related to the classical theory of K3 surfaces and to moduli spaces of certain SCFT as studied by…
On promoting the type IIA side of the N=1 Heterotic/type IIA dual pairs of [1] to M-theory on a `barely G_2 Manifold' of [2], by spectrum-matching we show a possible triality between Heterotic on a self-mirror Calabi-Yau, M-theory on the…
A categorical formalism is introduced for studying various features of the symplectic geometry of Lefschetz fibrations and the algebraic geometry of Tyurin degenerations. This approach is informed by homological mirror symmetry, derived…
We show how the full holomorphic geometry of local Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications with N=1 supersymmetry can be obtained from matrix models. In particular for the conifold geometry we relate F-terms to the general amplitudes of c=1…
In 1967, Langlands conjectured a natural correspondence between automorphic representations and Galois representations, over number fields as well as over function fields. In 1983, Drinfeld discovered a geometric analog of the Langlands…
The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that…
We extend the mirror construction of singular Calabi-Yau double covers, introduced by Hosono, Lee, Lian, and Yau, to a broader class of singular Calabi-Yau $(\mathbb{Z}/2)^k$-Galois covers, and prove Hodge number duality for both the…
This paper studies the situation when two 4-dimensional Lorentz manifolds (that is, space-times) admit the same (unparametrised) geodesics, that is, when they are projectively related. A review of some known results is given and then the…
In this paper, we study the Calabi-Yau conjectures for complete minimal hypersurfaces $\Sigma^{n}\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ in dimensions $n\ge 3$. These conjectures ask whether a complete minimal hypersurface must be unbounded, and more…
Let A be a basic connected finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, let G be a group, let T be a basic tilting A-module and let B the endomorphism algebra of T. Under a hypothesis on T, we establish a correspondence…
We review recent results on Integrable Discrete Geometry. It turns out that most of the known (continuous and/or discrete) integrable systems are particular symmetries of the quadrilateral lattice, a multidimensional lattice characterized…
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 some topological spaces that can be considered as hyperspaces associated to noncommutative spaces. More precisely, for a NC compact space associated to a unital C*-algebra, we consider the set of closed projections of the second…
