We prove that any holomorphic vector bundle admitting a holomorphic connection, over a compact K\"ahler Calabi-Yau manifold, also admits a flat holomorphic connection. This addresses a particular case of a question asked by Atiyah and…
We describe explicitly the chamber structure of the movable cone for a general complete intersection Calabi--Yau threefold in a non-split $(n + 4)$-dimensional $\mathbb{P}^{n}$-ruled Fano manifold of index $n + 1$ and Picard number two.…
We prove that for any smooth polarized complex $n$-dimensional manifold $(X, L_X)$ which admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L_X)$, and for any integer $k$ large enough (in terms of a bound depending on $(X, L_X)$), the…
We describe birational models and decide the rationality/unirationality of moduli spaces AA_{d} (and AA^{lev}_{d}) of (1,d)-polarized abelian surfaces (with canonical level structure, respectively) for small values of d. The projective…
In the present work, we investigate existence of deformations and algebraic approximability for certain uniruled K\"ahler threefolds. In the first part, we establish existence of infinitesimal deformations for all conic bundles with…
Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}(w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3)$ be a quasismooth well-formed weighted projective hypersurface and let $L = lcm(w_0,w_1,w_2,w_3)$. We characterize when $X$ is rational under the assumption that $L$ divides $deg(X)$ by…
We provide the first explicit example of Type IIB string theory compactification on a globally defined Calabi-Yau threefold with torsion which results in a four-dimensional effective theory with a non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetry. Our…
We construct a family of 1-convex threefolds, with exceptional curve C of type (0,-2), which are not embeddable in C^m \times CP_n. In order to show that they are not Kaehler we exhibit a real 3-dimensional chain A whose boundary is the…
We show an example of non-simply connected non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefold over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $3$. It is constructed from a simply connected example by S.~Schr\"oer.
We prove abundance for a minimal Kaehler threefold which is not both simple and non-Kummer. Recall that a variety is simple if there is no compact subvariety of positive dimension through a sufficiently general point . Furthermore we prove…
Using the prescription of [1] for defining period integrals in the Landau-Ginsburg theory for compact Calabi-Yau's, we obtain the Picard-Fuchs equation and the Meijer basis of solutions for the compact Calabi-Yau CY_3(3,243) expressed as a…
In this paper, assuming that a polarized algebraic manifold $(X,L)$ is strongly K-stable, we shall show that the polarization class $c_1(L)$ admits a constant scalar curvature Kaehler metric.
We discuss two closely related Calabi-Yau theorems for degenerations of compact K\"ahler manifolds. The first is a Calabi-Yau theorem for big test configurations, that generalizes a result in [WN24]. It follows from recent joint work with…
We investigate the modularity of three non-rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds with bad reduction at 11 which arise as fibre products of rational elliptic surfaces. For this purpose, we apply a method by Serre to compare two-dimensional 2-adic…
In this paper, we consider a closed 3-manifold $M$ with flat conformal structure $C$. We will prove that, if the Yamabe constant of $(M, C)$ is positive, then $(M, C)$ is Kleinian.
Ito-Miura-Okawa-Ueda have constructed a pair of Calabi-Yau threefolds $X$ and $Y$ that are L-equivalent and derived equivalent, but not stably birational. We complete the picture by showing that $X$ and $Y$ have isomorphic Chow motives.
We continue our study of heterotic compactifications on non-Kahler complex manifolds with torsion. We give further evidence of the consistency of the six-dimensional manifold presented earlier and discuss the anomaly cancellation and…
This is the third of a series of papers studying real algebraic threefolds, but the methods are mostly independent from the previous two. Let $f:X\to S$ be a map of a smooth projective real algebraic 3-fold to a surface $S$ whose general…
The solution of the Calabi Conjecture by Yau implies that every K\"ahler Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ admits a metric with holonomy contained in $\textrm{SU}(n)$, and that these metrics are parametrized by the positive cone in…
In this note we consider the motivic aspect of the middle cohomology of more than 200 classes of quasi-smooth Calabi--Yau threefolds inside weighted projective 4-space which come with an action of a cyclic group of even order. The action…
