We establish a global Torelli theorem for the complete family of Calabi-Yau threefolds arising from cyclic triple covers of $\mathbb P^3$ branched along stable hyperplane arrangements.
To a one-parameter family of Calabi-Yau threefolds, we can associate the extended period map by the log Hodge theory of Kato and Usui. In the present paper, we study the image of a maximally unipotent monodromy point under the extended…
We develop the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds, by which we mean 3-dimensional complex manifolds with a nowhere-vanishing holomorphic 3-form, on manifolds with boundary. The boundary data is a closed, real 3-form on the…
In a previous article (a joint work with J. Manoharmayum) the modularity of a large class of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds was established. To make that result more explicit, we recall (and re-prove) a result of Serre giving a bound for the…
We expand the theory of log canonical $3$-fold complements. We prove that if $X\rightarrow T$ is a $3$-dimensional contraction of log Calabi-Yau type, then we can find $B\geq 0$ on $X$ for which $(X,B)$ is log canonical and $n(K_X+B)\sim_T…
The result of this paper is proved in arXiv:1112.1163
We produce counterexamples to the birational Torelli theorem for Calabi-Yau manifolds in arbitrarily high dimension: this is done by exhibiting a series of non birational pairs of Calabi-Yau $(n^2-1)$-folds which, for $n \geq 2$ even, admit…
In this paper, we study the theory of complements, introduced by Shokurov, for Calabi-Yau type varieties with the coefficient set $[0,1]$. We show that there exists a finite set of positive integers $\mathcal{N}$, such that if a threefold…
We prove an orbifold Riemann--Roch formula for a polarized 3--fold (X,D). As an application, we construct new families of projective Calabi--Yau threefolds.
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…
We give an explicit example of log Calabi-Yau pairs that are log canonical and have a linearly decreasing Euler characteristic. This is constructed in terms of a degree two covering of a sequence of blow ups of three dimensional projective…
Birational Calabi-Yau threefolds in the same deformation family provide a `weak' counterexample to the global Torelli problem, as long as they are not isomorphic. In this paper, it is shown that deformations of certain desingularized…
We show some inductive statements for the index conjecture for log canonical Calabi-Yau pairs. Using it, we show that boundedness of log canonical index for log canonical Calabi Yau pairs with rational DCC coefficients in dimension 3. We…
We study various geometric properties of log Calabi-Yau manifolds, i.e. log smooth pairs $(X,D)$ such that $K_X+D=0$. More specifically, we focus on the two cases where $X$ is a Fano manifold and $D$ is either smooth or has two proportional…
We present a method for computing the generic degree of a period map defined on a quasi-projective surface. As an application, we explicitly compute the generic degree of three period maps underlying families of Calabi-Yau 3-folds coming…
The proof of Serre's conjecture on Galois representations over finite fields allows us to show, using a method due to Serre himself, that all rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over Q are modular.
In this paper, a family of smooth multiply connected Calabi--Yau threefolds is investigated. The family presents a counterexample to global Torelli as conjectured by Aspinwall and Morrison.
We prove modularity for a huge class of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds over $\Q$. In particular we prove that every rigid Calabi-Yau threefold with good reduction at 3 and 7 is modular.
We describe the proof that the period map from the Torelli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds to the classifying space of polarized Hodge structures is an embedding. The proof is based on the constructions of holomorphic affine structure on the…
We review briefly the characteristic topological data of Calabi--Yau threefolds and focus on the question of when two threefolds are equivalent through related topological data. This provides an interesting test case for machine learning…
