We construct families of Calabi-Yau manifolds with dense set of complex multiplication fibers in an arbitrary dimension. We will also give explicite examples of complex multiplication fibers. For this construction we use families of curves…

Connected weakly irreducible not irreducible subgroups of $Sp(1,n+1)\subset SO(4,4n+4)$ that satisfy a certain additional condition are classified. This will be used to classify connected holonomy groups of pseudo-hyper-K\"ahlerian…

We prove that random $\mathbb{Z}$-homomorphisms on weakly expanding bipartite graphs exhibit a strong "flatness" phenomenon. Extending prior work of Peled, Samotij, and Yehudayoff for expanders, we first show that on any bipartite $(n, d,…

These notes were prepared for the MSRI hot topics workshop on superstrong approximation (2012). We give a brief overview of the developments in the theory, especially the fundamental expansion theorem. Applications to diophantine problems…

We develop new techniques to study regularity questions for moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that are multiply covered. Among the main results, we show that unbranched multiple covers of closed holomorphic curves are generically…

We describe an efficient, construction independent, algorithmic test to determine whether Calabi--Yau threefolds admit a structure compatible with the Large Volume moduli stabilization scenario of type IIB superstring theory. Using the…

The aim of this article is to report on recent progress in understanding mirror symmetry for some non-complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds. We first construct four new smooth non-complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds with…

Let O be a compact orientable 3-orbifold with non-empty singular locus and a finite volume hyperbolic structure. (Equivalently, O is the quotient of hyperbolic 3-space by a lattice in PSL(2,C) with torsion.) Then we prove that O has a tower…

We investigate the modularity of three non-rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds with bad reduction at 11 which arise as fibre products of rational elliptic surfaces. For this purpose, we apply a method by Serre to compare two-dimensional 2-adic…

Discrete subgroups of SL(2,R) are well understood, and classified by the geometry of the corresponding hyperbolic surfaces. Discrete subgroups of higher-rank semisimple Lie groups, such as SL(n,R) for n>2, remain more mysterious. While…

We present all Belyi maps P^1(C) -> P^1(C) having almost simple primitive monodromy groups (not isomorphic to A_n or S_n) containing rigid and rational generating triples of degree between 50 and 250. This also leads to new polynomials…

Motivated in part by the modular properties of enumerative invariants of K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds, we introduce a family of 39 Calabi-Yau mirror pairs $(X,Y)$ with $h_{1,1}(X)=h_{2,1}(Y)=2$, labelled by certain integer quadruples…

Applying the Ashok-Denef-Douglas estimation method to elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds suggests that a single elliptic fourfold ${\cal M}_{\rm max}$ gives rise to ${\cal O} (10^{272,000})$ F-theory flux vacua, and that the sum total of the…

Our computations show that there is a total of $40$ pairs of degree six coprime polynomials $f,g$ where $f(x)=(x-1)^6$, $g$ is a product of cyclotomic polynomials, $g(0)=1$ and $f,g$ form a primitive pair. The aim of this article is to…

We propose two kinds of gauged linear sigma models whose moduli spaces are real eight-dimensional hyperKahler and Calabi-Yau manifolds, respectively. Here, hyperKahler manifolds have sp(2) holonomy in general and are dual to Type IIB…

We explain how to form a novel dataset of simply connected Calabi-Yau threefolds via the Gross-Siebert algorithm. We expect these to degenerate to Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces with certain Gorenstein (not necessarily isolated)…

We construct examples of symplectic half-flat manifolds on compact quotients of solvable Lie groups. We prove that the Calabi-Yau structures are not rigid in the class of symplectic half-flat structures. Moreover, we provide an example of a…

We classify all simply connected Riemannian manifolds whose isotropy groups act with cohomogeneity less than or equal to two.

Let ${\mathbb M}$ be an arbitrary o-minimal structure. Let $G$ be a definably compact definably connected abelian definable group of dimension $n$. Here we compute the new the intrinsic o-minimal fundamental group of $G;$ for each $k>0$,…

A result of Allock [1](arXiv:math/9907194) states that certain orbifold braid groups contain Artin groups of type $D_n$, $\tilde{B}_n$ and $\tilde{D}_n$ as finite index subgroups. The underlying orbifolds have at most two cone points of…
