Calabi-Yau links are specific $S^1$-fibrations over Calabi-Yau manifolds, when the link is 7-dimensional they exhibit both Sasakian and G2 structures. In this invited contribution to the DANGER proceedings, previous work exhaustively…
We study the topology of a real Lagrangian in Schoen's Calabi--Yau threefold $X$ and compute its mod $2$ cohomology using two methods; first via a concrete Mayer--Vietoris calculation, then by an exact sequence relating the mod $2$…
We revisit the classic database of weighted-P4s which admit Calabi-Yau 3-fold hypersurfaces equipped with a diverse set of tools from the machine-learning toolbox. Unsupervised techniques identify an unanticipated almost linear dependence…
Given two Calabi--Yau threefolds which are believed to constitute a mirror pair, there are very precise predictions about the enumerative geometry of rational curves on one of the manifolds which can be made by performing calculations on…
The B-model approach of topological string theory leads to difference equations by quantizing algebraic mirror curves. It is known that these quantum mechanical systems are solved by the refined topological strings. Recently, it was pointed…
Recent results on duality between string theories and connectedness of their moduli spaces seem to go a long way toward establishing the uniqueness of an underlying theory. For the large class of Calabi-Yau 3-folds that can be embedded as…
We consider Calabi-Yau threefolds Y defined as smooth linear sections of the double cover of the quintic symmetric determinantal hypersurface in P^{14}. In our previous works, we have shown that these Calabi-Yau threefolds Y are naturally…
Most of Calabi-Yau manifolds that have been considered by physicists are complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds of toric varieties or some quotients of product types. Purpose of this paper is to introduce a different and rather new kind…
In this article, we summarize combinatorial description of complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds in Hibi toric varieties. Such Calabi-Yau threefolds have at worst conifold singularities, and are often smoothable to non-singular…
We discuss some aspects of perturbative $(0,2)$ Calabi-Yau moduli space. In particular, we show how models with different $(0,2)$ data can meet along various sub-loci in their moduli space. In the simplest examples, the models differ by the…
We review advancements in deep learning techniques for complete intersection Calabi-Yau (CICY) 3- and 4-folds, with the aim of understanding better how to handle algebraic topological data with machine learning. We first discuss…
In this paper, we study boundedness questions for (simply-connected) smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds. The diffeomorphism class of such a threefold is known to be determined up to finitely many possibilities by the integral middle cohomology…
Calabi-Yau four-folds may be constructed as hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces of complex dimension 5 defined via weight systems of 6 weights. In this work, neural networks were implemented to learn the Calabi-Yau Hodge numbers…
We present an exhaustive, constructive, classification of the Calabi-Yau four-folds which can be described as complete intersections in products of projective spaces. A comprehensive list of 921,497 configuration matrices which represent…
We identify a class of autoequivalences of triangulated categories of singularities associated with Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric varieties. Elements of this class satisfy relations that are directly linked to the toric data.
In a previous article (a joint work with J. Manoharmayum) the modularity of a large class of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds was established. To make that result more explicit, we recall (and re-prove) a result of Serre giving a bound for the…
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…
In this work we consider quotients of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds by freely acting discrete groups and the associated physics of F-theory compactifications on such backgrounds. The process of quotienting a Calabi-Yau geometry…
A geometrical structure on even-dimensional manifolds is defined which generalizes the notion of a Calabi-Yau manifold and also a symplectic manifold. Such structures are of either odd or even type and can be transformed by the action of…
We study Calabi-Yau 3-folds M_0 with a conical singularity x modelled on a Calabi-Yau cone V. We construct desingularizations of M_0, obtaining a 1-parameter family of compact, nonsingular Calabi-Yau 3-folds which has M_0 as the limit. The…
