In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of the form-type Calabi-Yau equation on K\"ahler manifolds of nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature.
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…
A primitive Calabi-Yau threefold is a non-singular Calabi-Yau threefold which cannot be written as a crepant resolution of a singular fibre of a degeneration of Calabi-Yau threefolds. These should be thought as the most basic Calabi-Yau…
These lecture notes are an introduction to toric geometry. Particular focus is put on the description of toric local Calabi-Yau varieties, such as needed in applications to the AdS/CFT correspondence in string theory. The point of view…
We investigate Calabi--Yau three folds which are small resolutions of fiber products of elliptic surfaces with section admitting reduced fibers. We start by the classification of all fibers that can appear on such varieties. Then, we find…
The point is to compare the mathematical meaning of the ``number of rational curves on a Calabi-Yau threefold'' to the meaning ascribed to the same notion by string theorists.
These notes contain a brief introduction to the construction of toric Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections with a focus on issues relevant for string duality calculations. The last two sections can be read independently and…
This article accompanies my June 1998 seminaire Bourbaki talk on Givental's work. After a quick review of descendent integrals in Gromov-Witten theory, I discuss Givental's formalism relating hypergeometric series to solutions of quantum…
We study the algebraic structure of the configuration space of the Kodaira-Spencer gravity theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold. We then investigate the deformation problem of the Kodaira-Spencer gravity at the classical level using the…
Studying the quadratic field theory on seven dimensional spacetime constructed by a direct product of Calabi-Yau three-fold by a real time axis, with phase space being the third cohomology of the Calabi-Yau three-fold, the generators of…
We review several aspects of heterotic, type II, F-theory, and M-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds and fourfolds. In the context of dualities we focus on the heterotic gauge structure determined by the various types of…
We construct all quintic invariants in five variables with simple Non-Abelian finite symmetry groups. These define Calabi-Yau three-folds which are left invariant by the action of A_5, A_6 or PSL_2(11).
This paper aims to study the birational geometry of log Calabi-Yau pairs$(\mathbb{P}^3, D)$ of coregularity 2, where in this case $D$ is an irreducible normal quartic surface with canonical singularities. We completely classify which toric…
This paper pursues the study of the Calabi-Yau equation on certain symplectic non-Kaehler 4-manifolds, building on a key example of Tosatti-Weinkove in which more general theory had proved less effective. Symplectic 4-manifolds admitting a…
In this paper we construct Mabuchi $\mathcal{L}^{{\rm M}}_{\omega}$ functional and Aubin-Yau functionals $\mathcal{I}^{{\rm AY}}_{\omega}, \mathcal{J}^{{\rm AY}}_{\omega}$ on any compact complex three-folds. The method presented here will…
Ricci flat metrics for Calabi-Yau threefolds are not known analytically. In this work, we employ techniques from machine learning to deduce numerical flat metrics for the Fermat quintic, for the Dwork quintic, and for the Tian-Yau manifold.…
Let $X$ be a smooth connected algebraic curve over an algebraically closed field $k$. We study the deformation of $\ell$-adic Galois representations of the function field of $X$ while keeping the local Galois representations at all places…
We develop new techniques to study regularity questions for moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that are multiply covered. Among the main results, we show that unbranched multiple covers of closed holomorphic curves are generically…
For triangle groups, the (quasi-)automorphic forms are known just as explicitly as for the modular group SL$(2,\bbZ)$. We collect these expressions here, and then interpret them using the Halphen differential equation. We study the…
We study the behavior of the Kodaira dimension of algebraic fiber spaces over threefolds. We prove some cases of the Iitaka Conjecture $C_{n,3}$, including certain situations where the base variety is a Calabi--Yau threefold.
