We propose a way to examine N=1 and N=2 string dualities on Calabi-Yau three-folds or extensions. Our way is to find out or to construct two types of toric representations of a Calabi-Yau three-fold, which contain phases topologically…
We show that the moduli space of all Calabi-Yau manifolds that can be realized as hypersurfaces described by a transverse polynomial in a four dimensional weighted projective space, is connected. This is achieved by exploiting techniques of…
We shall give an explicit pair of birational projective Calabi--Yau threefolds which are rigid, non-homeomorphic, but are connected by projective flat deformation over some connected base scheme.
We investigate the open mirror symmetry of certain non-complete intersection Calabi- Yau 3-folds, so called pfaffian Calabi-Yau. We perform the prediction of the number of disk invariants of several examples by using the direct integration…
This is the third and last in a series of papers working towards the construction of non-trivial Cayley fibrations using gluing methods. In this paper we will show two stability results for Cayley fibrations with certains types of conical…
We show that there is an extra dimension to the mirror duality discovered in the early nineties by Greene-Plesser and Berglund-H\"ubsch. Their duality matches cohomology classes of two Calabi--Yau orbifolds. When both orbifolds are equipped…
We show that there are two different dualities of two dimensional gauge theories with N=(2,2) supersymmetry. One is basically a consequence of 3d mirror symmetry. The non-linear sigma model with Calabi-Yau target space on the Higgs branch…
The purpose of this paper is to exhibit a natural construction between complex geometry and symplectic geometry following the idea of mirror symmetry. Suppose we are given a family of pairs of 2-dimensional K\"ahler tori and stable…
We consider examples of extremal transitions between families of Calabi-Yau complete intersection threefolds in toric varieties, which are induced by toric embeddings of one toric variety into the other. We show that the toric map induced…
We show how the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence for the quintic three-fold can be cast into a global mirror symmetry framework. Then we draw inspiration from Berglund-H\"ubsch mirror duality construction to provide an analogue…
In this paper, we construct certain algebraic correspondences between genus three curves and certain type of Calabi-Yau threefolds which is double coverings of three dimensional projective space. Via this correspondences, the first…
We show that an abelian fibered Calabi-Yau threefold with a positive entropy automorphism preserving the fibration is unique up to isomorphisms as fibered varieties. We also give a fairly explicit structure theorem of an elliptically…
We develop some methods to construct normal crossing varieties whose dual complexes are two-dimensional, which are smoothable to Calabi--Yau threefolds. We calculate topological invariants of smoothed Calabi--Yau threefolds and show that…
We study the existence of special Lagrangian submanifolds of log Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with the complete Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric constructed by Tian-Yau. We prove that if $X$ is a Tian-Yau manifold, and if the compact Calabi-Yau…
We construct Calabi-Yau manifolds and their mirrors from K3 surfaces. This method was first developed by Borcea and Voisin. We examined their properties torically and checked mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau 4-fold case. From Borcea-Voisin…
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 study the fate of discrete gauge groups and discrete charges of gravitational theories under twisted circle compactification. We then apply our results to six-dimensional F-theory vacua with discrete gauge symmetries and relate them to…
Mirror symmetry relates type IIB string theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold to type IIA on the mirror CY manifold, whose complex structure and Kaehler moduli spaces are exchanged. We show that the mirror map is a particular case of a more general…
In this paper, we investigate the geometries associated with 3-forms of various orbital types on a symplectic 6-manifold. We demonstrate that certain unstable 3-forms, which naturally emerge from specific degenerations of Calabi-Yau…
Polishchuk-Zaslow explained the homological mirror symmetry between Fukaya category of symplectic torus and the derived category of coherent sheaves of elliptic curves via Lagrangian torus fibration. Recently, Cho-Hong-Lau found another…
