There is a homotopy hypercommutative algebra structure on the cohomology of a Calabi-Yau variety. The truncation of this homotopy hypercommutative algebra to a strict hypercommutative algebra is well-known as a mathematical realization of…

This paper gives a simple example of a family of Calabi-Yaus of any dimension with canonical singularities of dimension one, whose Kuranishi space is singular. Thus the Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov unobstructedness theorem is not true for…

We prove that given any compact Riemannian 3-manifold with boundary M, there exists a smooth properly embedded one-manifold G, included in M, each of whose components is a simple closed curve and such that the domain D=Int(M)-G does not…

Coassociative 4-folds are a particular class of 4-dimensional submanifolds which are defined in a 7-dimensional manifold M with a G_2 structure given by a `positive' differential 3-form, sometimes called G_2-form. Assuming that a G_2-form…

Building on results of Clemens and Kley, we find criteria for a continuous family of curves in a nodal $K$-trivial threefold $Y_0$ to deform to a scheme of finitely many smooth isolated curves in a general deformation $Y_t$ of $Y_0$. As an…

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 prove several formulas related to Hodge theory and the Kodaira-Spencer-Kuranishi deformation theory of K\"ahler manifolds. As applications, we present a construction of globally convergent power series of integrable Beltrami…

We study sections of a Calabi-Yau threefold fibered over a curve by K3 surfaces. We show that there exist infinitely many isolated sections on certain K3 fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds and the subgroup of the N\'eron-Severi group generated…

In this article, we study the finite distance problem with respect to the period-map metric on the moduli of non-K\"{a}hler Calabi--Yau $\partial\bar{\partial}$-threefolds via Hodge theory. We extended C.-L. Wang's finite distance criterion…

We study the geometry of Calabi-Yau conifold transitions. This deformation process is known to possibly connect a K\"ahler threefold to a non-K\"ahler threefold. We use balanced and Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics to geometrize the conifold…

The purpose of this paper is to prove a gluing theorem for a given special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. The proof will be an adaption of the gluing techniques in J-holomorphic curve theory. It is a well known procedure in…

In the paper [FSM] we described some Siegel modular threefolds which admit a Calabi-Yau model. Using a different method we give in this paper an enlarged list of such varieties that admits a Calabi-Yau model in the following weak sense:…

We use the method of stable degenerations to study the local geometry of Calabi-Yau fourfolds for F-theory compactifications dual to heterotic compactifications on a Calabi-Yau threefold with fivebranes wrapping holomorphic curves in the…

We study type III contractions of Calabi-Yau threefolds containing a ruled surface over a smooth curve. We discuss the conditions necessary for the image threefold to by smoothable. We describe the change in Hodge numbers caused by this…

Deformation theory of complex manifolds is a classical subject with recent new advances in the noncompact case using both algebraic and analytic methods. In this note, we recall some concepts of the existing theory and introduce new notions…

The aim of this paper is to analyze some geometric properties of the rigid Calabi--Yau threefold $\mathcal{Z}$ obtained by a quotient of $E^3$, where $E$ is a specific elliptic curve. We describe the cohomology of $\mathcal{Z}$ and give a…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian three-dimensional manifold with boundary. We prove the compactness of the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface.…

We consider a generalization of Calabi-Yau structures in the context of $\alpha$-Sasakian manifolds. We study deformations of a special class of Legendrian submanifolds and classify invariant contact Calabi-Yau structures on 5-dimensional…

We show that every connected compact or bordered Riemann surface contains a Cantor set whose complement admits a complete conformal minimal immersion in $\mathbb R^3$ with bounded image. The analogous result holds for holomorphic immersions…

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…
