We study the generic Hodge groups $\Hg(\sX)$ of local universal deformations $\sX$ of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds with onedimensional complex moduli, give a complete list of all possible choices for $\Hg(\sX)_{\R}$ and determine the latter real…

In this paper, we will construct new examples of derived equivalent Calabi--Yau 3-folds with Picard number greater than one. We also study their mirror Calabi--Yau manifolds and find that they are given by Schoen's fiber products of…

We consider Higgs bundles satisfying a notion of numerical flatness (H-nflatness) that was previously introduced, and show that they have Jordan-H\"older filtrations whose quotients are stable, locally free and H-nflat. This is applied to…

We construct a sequence of complete moduli spaces $$E_0 \subset E_1 \subset E_2 \subset \dots E_n \subset\dots,$$ each of which is isomorphic to a weighted projective space. These spaces parameterize certain $n$-dimensional Calabi-Yau…

Multiply-connected Calabi-Yau threefolds are of particular interest for both string theorists and mathematicians. Recently it was pointed out that one of the generic degenerations of these spaces (occurring at codimension one in moduli…

It is a fundamental problem in geometry to decide which moduli spaces of polarized algebraic varieties are embedded by their period maps as Zariski open subsets of locally Hermitian symmetric domains. In the present work we prove that the…

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 use toric geometry to study open string mirror symmetry on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds. For a mirror pair of toric branes on a mirror pair of toric hypersurfaces we derive a canonical hypergeometric system of differential equations,…

We use the differential geometrical framework of generalized (almost) Calabi-Yau structures to reconsider the concept of mirror symmetry. It is shown that not only the metric and B-field but also the algebraic structures are uniquely…

We perform a Hodge theoretic study of parameter dependent families of D-branes on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds in type II and F-theory compactifcations. Starting from a geometric Gauss-Manin connection for B type branes we study the…

This is the extended version of the paper "Special Lagrangian conifolds, I: Moduli spaces", which discusses the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the…

We construct a generalization of the variations of Hodge structures on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It gives a Mirror partner for the theory of genus=0 Gromov-Witten invariants

We study the predictions of mirror symmetry for the 1-parameter family of Calabi-Yau 3-folds $\tilde{X}$ with hodge numbers $h^{11}=31,h^{21}=1$ constructed in \cite{BN}. We calculate the Picard-Fuchs differential equation associated to…

We generalize the known method for explicit construction of mirror pairs of $(2,2)$-superconformal field theories, using the formalism of Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. Geometrically, these theories are realized as Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in…

We discuss various topics on degenerations and special Lagrangian torus fibrations of Calabi-Yau manifolds in the context of mirror symmetry. A particular emphasis is on Tyurin degenerations and the Doran-Harder-Thompson conjecture, which…

We explore the distribution of topological numbers in Calabi-Yau manifolds, using the Kreuzer-Skarke dataset of hypersurfaces in toric varieties as a testing ground. While the Hodge numbers are well-known to exhibit mirror symmetry,…

The construction of mirror symmetry in the heterotic string is reviewed in the context of Calabi-Yau and Landau-Ginzburg compactifications. This framework has the virtue of providing a large subspace of the configuration space of the…

We extend the mirror construction of singular Calabi-Yau double covers, introduced by Hosono, Lee, Lian, and Yau, to a broader class of singular Calabi-Yau $(\mathbb{Z}/2)^k$-Galois covers, and prove Hodge number duality for both the…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety, and $\mathcal{G}$ a locally free sheaf on $X$. We show that there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between pairs $(\Lambda,\Xi)$, where $\Lambda$ is a sheaf of almost polynomial filtered algebras…
