We study the limit of Calabi-Yau modular forms, and in particular, those resulting in classical modular forms. We then study two parameter families of elliptically fibred Calabi-Yau fourfolds and describe the modular forms arising from the…
We review recent advances in the numerical analysis of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation. Various computational techniques are discussed including wide-stencil finite difference schemes, two-scaled methods, finite element methods, and methods…
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…
This text contains the material discussed by the author in the Bourbaki seminar of June 2018, on the recent developments in the theory of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation.
A complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation for differential $(p,p)$-forms is introduced on compact K\"ahler manifolds. For any $1 \leq p < n$, we show the existence of smooth solutions unique up to adding constants. For $p=1$, this corresponds to…
This is the author's PhD thesis. Two main sections address various aspects of mirror symmetry for compact Calabi-Yau threefolds and the roles that classically modular varieties play in string theory compactifications. The main results…
We discuss pluripotential aspects of the Monge-Amp\`ere equations on compact Hermitian manifolds and prove $L^{\infty}$ estimates for any metric, as well as the existence of weak solutions under an extra assumption.
This is the content of the lectures given by the author at the winter school KAWA3 held at the University of Barcelona in 2012 from January 30 to February 3. The main goal was to give an account of viscosity techniques and to apply them to…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of continuous solutions to the complex Monge-Amp\`ere type equation with the right hand side in $L^p$, $p>1$, on compact Hermitian manifolds. Next, we generalise results of Eyssidieux, Guedj and Zeriahi…
We investigate the structures of Calabi-Yau differential equations and the relations to the arithmetic of the pencils of Calabi-Yau varieties behind the equations. This provides explanations of some observations and computations in a recent…
This is a contribution to the special issue of Surveys in Differential Geometry celebrating the 75th birthday of Shing-Tung Yau. The bulk of the paper is devoted to a survey of some new geometric inequalities and estimates for the…
In this paper, a simplified exposition of the celebrated Aubin-Yau proof for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics is provided. For the case of a compact K\"ahler manifold with vanishing first Chern class, the analysis presents an…
We establish a C^0 a priori bound on the solutions of the quaternionic Calabi-Yau equation (of Monge-Ampere type) on compact HKT manifolds with a locally flat hypercomplex structure. As an intermediate step, we prove a quaternionic version…
In this paper we state an analog of Calabi's conjecture proved by Yau. The difference with the classical case is that we propose deformation of the complex structure, whereas the complex Monge--Amp\`{e}re equation describes deformation of…
In this note, a gradient estimate for the complex Monge-Ampere equation is established. It differs from previous estimates of Yau, Hanani, Blocki, P. Guan, B. Guan - Q. Li in that it is pointwise, and depends only on the infimum of the…
In this note, we establish several results concerning the continuity (or weak convergence) of the complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator on compact Hermitian manifolds. At the end of this note, we find a weak solution of the complex Monge-Amp\`ere…
We develop a new approach to $L^{\infty}$-a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on complex manifolds. It only relies on compactness and envelopes properties of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions. In a prequel…
We discuss a conjecture of Donaldson on a version of Yau's Theorem for symplectic forms with compatible almost complex structures and survey some recent progress on this problem. We also speculate on some future possible directions, and use…
Lecture notes from 1993 Park City lectures and 1994 Trento lectures. The focus of these lectures is on giving a mathematical description of the A-model and B-model correlation functions on a Calabi--Yau manifold, and a precise mathematical…
In this expository paper, we illustrate two explicit methods which lead to special $L$-values of certain modular forms admitting complex multiplication (CM), motivated in part by properties of $L$-functions obtained from Calabi-Yau…
