The analysis of type IIB flux vacua on warped Calabi--Yau orientifolds becomes considerably involved for a large number of complex structure fields. We however show that, for a quadratic flux superpotential, one can devise simplifying…
We establish a splitting formula for the spectral flow of the odd signature operator on a closed 3-manifold M coupled to a path of SU(2) connections, provided M = S cup X, where S is the solid torus. It describes the spectral flow on M in…

We study the stringy genus one partition function of $N=2$ SCFT's. It is shown how to compute this using an anomaly in decoupling of BRST trivial states from the partition function. A particular limit of this partition function yields the…
We give an indirect argument for the matching $G^2=-\pi_* \gamma^2$ of four-flux and discrete twist in the duality between N=1 heterotic string and $F$-theory. This treats in detail the Euler number computation for the physically relevant…
On a complete Riemannian manifold $M$, we study the spectral flow of a family of Callias operators. We derive a codimension zero formula when the dimension of $M$ is odd and a codimension one formula when the dimension of $M$ is even. These…
We show that a recent spectral flow approach proposed by Berkolaiko-Cox-Marzuola for analyzing the nodal deficiency of the nodal partition associated to an eigenfunction can be extended to more general partitions. To be more precise, we…
We study an effective spectral deformation flow for mode amplitudes $C_n(\tau)$, governed by a second-order self-adjoint operator $\hat{C}$ on a compact interval. The flow is encoded in the multi-function $C(v,\tau,n)$ and exhibits global…
For an orientable surface with an area form, there are two invariants of area-preserving dynamics, the flux homomorphism and the Calabi invariant. Tsuboi found a remarkable connection between the Calabi invariant on the closed disk and a…
The paper deals with spectral order isomorphisms in the framework of AW*-algebras. We establish that every spectral order isomorphism between sets of all self-adjoint operators (or between sets of all effects, or between sets of all…
We define an iterative construction that produces a family of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau $n$-folds with section from a family of elliptic Calabi-Yau varieties of one dimension lower. Parallel to the geometric construction, we…
We present a new and simple approach to the theory of multiple operator integrals that applies to unbounded operators affiliated with general von Neumann algebras. For semifinite von Neumann algebras we give applications to the Fr\'echet…
An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…
We introduce a new class of natural, explicitly defined, transversally elliptic differential operators over manifolds with compact group actions. Under certain assumptions, the symbols of these operators generate all the possible values of…
We investigate the old problem of determining the exact bulk moduli of generic $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure flux backgrounds of type II string theory. Using techniques from generalised geometry, we show that the infinitesimal deformations are…

We investigate mirror symmetry for toric Calabi-Yau manifolds from the perspective of the SYZ conjecture. Starting with a non-toric special Lagrangian torus fibration on a toric Calabi-Yau manifold $X$, we construct a complex manifold…
We show that the formal moduli space of a Calabi-Yau manifold $X^n$ carries a linear structure, as predicted by mirror symmetry. This linear structure is canonically associated to a splitting of the Hodge filtration on $H^n(X)$.
