Totally real surfaces in the nearly K\"ahler $\mathbb{C}P^3$ are investigated and are completely classified under various additional assumptions, resulting in multiple new examples. Among others, the classification includes totally real…

In this paper we show that the dual complex of a dlt log Calabi-Yau pair $(Y, \Delta)$ on a Mori fibre space $\pi: Y \to Z$ is a finite quotient of a sphere, provided that either the Picard number of $Y$ or the dimension of $Z$ is $\leq 2$.…

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…

Some ball-quotient orbifolds are related by covering maps. We exploit these coverings to find infinite towers of orbifolds uniformized by the complex 2-ball and some orbifolds over K3 surfaces uniformized by the 2-ball. Corresponding…

We extend our variant of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces \cite{GN3} and clarify its relation with mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. We introduce two classes (for the models A and B) of Calabi-Yau manifolds fibrated by K3 surfaces…

Quadratic flows have the unique property of uniform strain and are commonly used in turbulence modeling and hydrodynamic analysis. While previous application focused on two-dimensional homogeneous fluid, this study examines the geometric…

In this paper we define $q$-spherical surfaces as the surfaces that contain the absolute conic of the Euclidean space as a $q-$fold curve. Particular attention is paid to the surfaces with singular points of the highest order. Two classes…

We generalize the standard combinatorial techniques of toric geometry to the study of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. The character and cocharacter lattices are replaced by certain integral linear manifolds described by Gross, Hacking, and Keel,…

The Fourier approach and theories of space groups and color symmetries are used to systematically generate and compare bicontinuous cubic structures in the framework of a Ginzburg-Landau model for ternary amphiphilic systems. Both single…

Relative BPS state counts for log Calabi-Yau surface pairs were introduced by Gross-Pandharipande-Siebert and conjectured by the authors to be integers. For toric Del Pezzo surfaces, we provide an arithmetic proof of this conjecture, by…

A surface pair $(X,C)$ is a germ of a normal surface singularity $(X,0)$ and a sum $C=\sum c_iC_i$ of curves on $X$, with $c_i\in [0,1]$. An orbifold pair has $c_i=1/n_i$, as intersecting with a small sphere gives a $3$-dimensional orbifold…

In this article we fully classify regular tubular surfaces in Euclidean, Lorentzian and hyperbolic 3-spaces whose Gaussian and mean curvatures $K$ and $H$ verify a polynomial relation. More precisely, we determine the set $S(Q)$ of all…

The recent result of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow relating mirror symmetry to the quantum field theory notion of T-duality is reinterpreted as providing a way of geometrically characterizing which Calabi-Yau manifolds have mirror partners.…

A Calabi-Yau threefold is called of type K if it admits an \'etale Galois covering by the product of a K3 surface and an elliptic curve. In our previous paper, based on Oguiso-Sakurai's fundamental work, we provide the full classification…

We describe pretty examples of derived equivalences and autoequivalences of Calabi-Yau threefolds arising from pencils of cubic fourfolds. The cubic fourfolds are chosen to be special, so they have an associated K3 surface. Thus a pencil…

We study the geometry of $3$-codimensional smooth subvarieties of the complex projective space. In particular, we classify all quasi-Buchsbaum Calabi--Yau threefolds in projective $6$-space. Moreover, we prove that this classification…

We study aspects related to Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry conjecture in the case of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric varieties. In a 1996 lecture at Rutgers University, Kontsevich indicated how his proposal implies that…

We prove that there is a unique $R$-equivalence class on every del Pezzo surface of degree $4$ defined over the Laurent field $K=k((t))$ in one variable over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic not equal to $2$ or $5$. We…

Let $Y$ be a smooth complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in $\mathbb{P}^n$, with $n$ even. We show that $Y$ has a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence, the Chow ring of (powers…

Let $S$ be a minimal surface of general type with irregularity $q(S) = 1$. Well-known inequalities between characteristic numbers imply that $3 p_g(S) \le c_2(S) \le 10 p_g(S)$, where $p_g(S)$ is the geometric genus and $c_2(S)$ the…
