We use the mixed-twist construction of Doran and Malmendier to obtain a multi-parameter family of K3 surfaces of Picard rank $\rho \ge 16$. Upon identifying a particular Jacobian elliptic fibration on its general member, we determine the…
For the universal family of cyclic covers of projective spaces branched along hyperplane arrangements in general position, we consider its monodromy group acting on an eigen linear subspace of the middle cohomology of the fiber. We prove…
Let $B$ be a smooth projective surface, and $\mathcal{L}$ an ample line bundle on $B$. The aim of this parer is to study the families of elliptic Calabi--Yau threefolds sitting in the bundle $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{L}^a \oplus \mathcal{L}^b…
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…
We study Euclidean D3-branes wrapping divisors $D$ in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory. Witten's counting of fermion zero modes in terms of the cohomology of the structure sheaf $\mathcal{O}_D$ applies when…
We present a method to explicitly compute a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents in a simple component with Schur index 1 of a rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q}G$ for $G$ a finite generalized strongly monomial group. For the…
For compact Calabi-Yau geometries with D5-branes we study N=1 effective superpotentials depending on both open- and closed-string fields. We develop methods to derive the open/closed Picard-Fuchs differential equations, which control…
Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra and $G$ be a finite nilpotent group of automorphisms of $V.$ We prove the following in this paper: (1) There is a Galois correspondence between subgroups of $G$ and the vertex operator subalgebras…
We describe a family of finite, four-dimensional, $L$-loop Feynman integrals that involve weight-$(L+1)$ hyperlogarithms integrated over $(L-1)$-dimensional elliptically fibered varieties we conjecture to be Calabi-Yau. At three loops, we…
In this paper we have developed general algorithm for finding all orbifolds of Berglund-Hubsch-type Calabi-Yau manifolds and their mirrors. An explicit construction is formulated for finding all admissible deformations and groups defining…
Monodromy groups, i.e. the groups of isometries of the intersection lattice L_X:=H_2/torsion generated by the monodromy action of all deformation families of a given surface, have been computed in math.AG/0006231 for any minimal elliptic…
We prove that up to birational equivalence, there exists only a finite number of families of Calabi-Yau threefolds (i.e. a threefold with trivial canonical class and factorial terminal singularities) which have an elliptic fibration to a…
We show that there exists a Lame operator $L_n$ with projective octahedral monodromy for each $n\in{1/2}(\mathbf{N}+{1/2})\cup{1/3}(\mathbf{N}+{1/2}) $, and with projective icosahedral monodromy for each…
As is the case for the theory of holomorphic functions in the complex plane, the Cauchy Integral Formula has proven to be a corner stone of Clifford analysis, the monogenic function theory in higher dimensional euclidean space. In recent…
Andrews and Petsche proposed in 2020 a conjectural characterization of all pairs $(f,\alpha)$, where $f$ is a polynomial over a number field $K$ and $\alpha\in K$, such that the dynamical Galois group of the pair $(f,\alpha)$ is abelian. In…
A computation shows that there are 77 (up to scalar shifts) possible pairs of integer coefficient polynomials of degree five, having roots of unity as their roots, and satisfying the conditions of Beukers and Heckman [1], so that the…
We introduce symplectic Calabi-Yau caps to obtain new obstructions to exact fillings. In particular, it implies that any exact filling of the standard unit cotangent bundle of a hyperbolic surface has vanishing first Chern class and has the…
We study the monodromy operators on the betti cohomologies associated to a good degeneration of irreducible symplectic manifold and we show that the unipotency of the monodromy operator on the middle cohomology is at least the half of the…
We describe the explicit computation of a family of 4-branch-point rational functions of degree 63 with monodromy group PSL(6,2). This, in particular, negatively answers a question by J. K\"onig whether there exists a such a function with…
For a weighted homogeneous polynomial and a choice of a diagonal symmetry group, we define a new Fukaya category for a Landau-Ginzburg orbifold (of Fano or Calabi-Yau type). The construction is based on the wrapped Fukaya category of its…
