We prove that certain differential operators of the form $DLD$ with $L$ hypergeometric and $D=z \frac{d}{dz}$ are of Picard-Fuchs type. We give closed hypergeometric expressions for minors of the biextension period matrices that arise from…
We construct the Poincare polynomials for Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds with projection operators.Using them we show that special types of dualities including Poincare duality are realized under certain conditions. When Calabi-Yau…
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 investigate the complex and K\"ahler attractor mechanisms of moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The complex attractor mechanism was previously studied by Ferrara-Kallosh-Strominger, Moore and others in string theory. It is concerned…
We describe a simple class of type IIA string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds where background fluxes generate a potential for the complex structure moduli, the dilaton, and the K\"ahler moduli. This class of models corresponds to…
We study the Calabi-Yau phase of a certain class of (0,2) models. These are conjectured to be equivalent to exact (0,2) superconformal field theories which have been constructed recently. Using the methods of toric geometry we discuss in a…
By using the global deformation of almost complex structures which are compatible with a symplectic form off a Lebesgue measure zero subset, we construct a (measurable) Lipschitz Kahler metric such that the one-form type Calabi-Yau equation…
Motivated by mirror symmetry of one-parameter models, an interesting class of Fuchsian differential operators can be singled out, the so-called Calabi--Yau operators, introduced by Almkvist and Zudilin. They conjecturally determine…
We describe birational models and decide the rationality/unirationality of moduli spaces AA_{d} (and AA^{lev}_{d}) of (1,d)-polarized abelian surfaces (with canonical level structure, respectively) for small values of d. The projective…
In recent work, Darmon, Pozzi and Vonk explicitly construct a modular form whose spectral coefficients are $p$-adic logarithms of Gross-Stark units and Stark-Heegner points. Here we describe how this construction gives rise to a practical…
We confirm the leading $\alpha'^3$ correction to the 4d, $\mathcal N = 1$ K\"{a}hler potential of type IIB orientifold compactifications, proportional to the Euler characteristic of the Calabi-Yau threefold (BBHL correction). We present the…
We study modular differential equations for the basic weak Jacobi forms in one abelian variable with applications to the elliptic genus of Calabi--Yau varieties. We show that the elliptic genus of any $CY_3$ satisfies a differential…
We show that minimal models of nondegenerated hypersufaces defined by Laurent polynomials with a $d$-dimensional Newton polytope $\Delta$ are Calabi-Yau varieties $X$ if and only if the Fine interior of $\Delta$ consists of a single lattice…
This article first reviews the calculation of the N = 1 effective action for generic type IIA and type IIB Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of background fluxes by using a Kaluza-Klein reduction. The Kahler potential, the gauge…
Given a holomorphic newform $f$ of weight $k$ and with rational coefficients, a question of Mazur and van Straten asks if there is an associated Calabi-Yau variety $X$ over ${\mathbb Q}$ of dimension $k-1$ such that the $\ell$-adic Galois…
We present exact expressions, based on the grade restriction rule and window categories, for monodromies associated to certain Calabi-Yau threefold flops. We show a general formula for the monodromy action on the lattice of B-brane charges,…
We investigate a new property for compact Kahler manifolds. Let X be a Kahler manifold of dimension n and let H^{1,1} denote the (1,1) part of its real second cohomology. On this space, we have an degree n form given by cup product. Let K…
We describe a complete algorithm to compute millions of coefficients of classical modular forms in a few seconds. We also review operations on Euler products and illustrate our methods with a computation of triple product L-function of…
In this note we give an overview of some applications of the Calabi-Yau theorem to the construction of singular positive (1,1) currents on compact complex manifolds. We show how recent developments allow us to give streamlined proofs of…
Reducibility methods, aiming to simplify systems by conjugating them to those with constant coefficients, are crucial for studying the existence of quasiperiodic solutions. In KAM theory for PDEs, these methods help address the…
