We study one-parameter conifold degenerations whose central fiber has finitely many ordinary double points. Working within a deliberately minimal finite-node bulk/localized-sector formalism, we identify the first categorical layer suggested…

In previous work, we extracted the intrinsic finite algebraic state data of a finite-node conifold degeneration in the form $A_\Sigma := (V_\Sigma,E_\Sigma,c_\Sigma)$, where $V_\Sigma$ is the finite node-indexed vertex set, $E_\Sigma$ is…

We study one-parameter conifold degenerations whose central fiber has finitely many ordinary double points and construct a mixed-Hodge-module refinement of the canonical corrected perverse object associated with the degeneration. We build a…

Let $pi:X\to\Delta$ be a one-parameter degeneration whose central fiber $X_0$ has a single ordinary double point. The nearby- and vanishing-cycle formalism determines a canonical perverse sheaf on $X_0$, obtained from the variation morphism…

We study projective one-parameter conifold degenerations whose central fiber has finitely many ordinary double points. Existing finite-node theory isolates one rank-one local sector per node on the perverse-sheaf, mixed-Hodge-module, and…

In previous work, we extracted from a finite-node conifold degeneration the state-data package $A_\Sigma=(V_\Sigma,E_\Sigma,c_\Sigma)$ and then constructed the support-level interaction package encoded by a binary incidence structure and…

We extend the Hodge atoms framework of Katzarkov--Kontsevich--Pantev--Yu to one-parameter conifold degenerations of Calabi--Yau threefolds. For a degeneration $\pi\colon X \to \Delta$ whose central fiber $X_0$ has $r$ ordinary double…

We examine the large $N$ 1/4-BPS spectrum of the symmetric orbifold CFT Sym$^N(M)$ deformed to the supergravity point in moduli space for $M= K3$ and $T^4$. We consider refinement under both left- and right-moving $SU(2)_R$ symmetries of…

We study a one parameter degeneration of Calabi Yau threefolds whose central fiber contains a single ordinary double point. Using the nearby and vanishing cycle formalism, we construct a canonical perverse object on the singular fiber from…

Let $f: X \to S$ be a unipotent degeneration of projective complex manifolds over a disc such that the reduction of the central fibre $Y=f^{-1}(0)$ is simple normal crossings, and let $X_\infty$ be the canonical nearby fibre. Building on…

We study the vanishing cycles of a one-parameter smoothing of a complex analytic space and show that the weight filtration on its perverse cohomology sheaf of the highest degree is quite close to the monodromy filtration so that its graded…

For a one-parameter degeneration of reduced compact complex analytic spaces of dimension $n$, we prove the invariance of the frontier Hodge numbers $h^{p,q}$ (that is, with $pq(n{-}p)(n{-}q)=0$) for the intersection cohomology of the fibers…

We study geometric engineering of Argyres-Douglas superconformal theories realized by type IIB strings propagating in singular Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use this construction to count the degeneracy of light BPS states under small…

We study BPS states in a marginal deformation of super Yang-Mills on R x S^3 using a quantum mechanical system of q-commuting matrices. We focus mainly on the case where the parameter q is a root of unity, so that the AdS dual of the field…

This paper is the first in a series. The main goal of the series is to present a geometric construction of certain remarkable tensor categories arising from quantum groups coresponding to the value of deformation parameter $q$ equal to a…

F-theory compactifications on appropriate local elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds engineer six dimensional superconformal field theories and their mass deformations. The partition function $Z_{top}$ of the refined topological string on these…

We prove a projection-triangle statement for projective Calabi--Yau threefold conifold degenerations and use it to organize an intersection-space Hodge atom shadow package. For a nodal central fiber $X_0$, assume the relevant…

The Heisenberg algebra is first deformed with the set of parameters ${q, l, \lambda}$ to generate a new family of generalized coherent states. In this framework, the matrix elements of relevant operators are exactly computed. A proof on…

On an $n$-dimensional locally reduced complex analytic space $X$ on which the shifted constant sheaf $\Q_X^\bullet[n]$ is perverse, it is well-known that, locally, $\Q_X^\bullet[n]$ underlies a mixed Hodge module of weight $\leq n$ on $X$,…

We construct good degenerations of Quot-schemes and coherent systems using the stack of expanded degenerations. We show that these good degenerations are separated and proper DM stacks of finite type. Applying to the projective threefolds,…
