We consider degenerations of complex projective Calabi--Yau varieties and study the singularities of $L^2$, Quillen and BCOV metrics on Hodge and determinant bundles. The dominant and subdominant terms in the expansions of the metrics close…
In this paper we focus on determining for which degenerations the central fibre is at finite distance with respect to Weil-Petersson metric. We obtain a simple condition on the limiting mixed Hodge structure. Then we combine the result with…
Calabi--Yau manifolds have risen to prominence in algebraic geometry, in part because of mirror symmetry and enumerative geometry. After Bershadsky--Cecotti--Ooguri--Vafa (BCOV), it is expected that genus 1 curve counting on a Calabi--Yau…
We present a novel way to classify Calabi-Yau threefolds by systematically studying their infinite volume limits. Each such limit is at infinite distance in Kahler moduli space and can be classified by an associated limiting mixed Hodge…
This is a survey of our recent work on degenerations of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with Kahler classes approaching the boundary of the Kahler cone.
We prove a new rigidity criterion for families of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Motivated by known non-rigid examples, we conjecture that a family over a quasi-projective curve is rigid if it admits a smooth compactification whose…
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…
In this paper, we study the convergence of Calabi-Yau manifolds under K\"{a}hler degeneration to orbifold singularities and complex degeneration to canonical singularities (including the conifold singularities), and the collapsing of a…
We give a Hodge-theoretic criterion for a Calabi--Yau variety to have finite Weil--Petersson distance on higher dimensional bases up to a set of codimension $\geq 2$. The main tool is variation of Hodge structures and variation of mixed…
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…
We construct infinitely many complete Calabi-Yau metrics on $\mathbf{C}^n$ for $n \geq 3$, with maximal volume growth, and singular tangent cones at infinity. In addition we construct Calabi-Yau metrics in neighborhoods of certain isolated…
We introduce a new class of canonical AZD's (called the supercanonical AZD's) on the canonical bundles of smooth projective varieties with pseudoeffective canonical classes. We study the variation of the supercanonical AZD $\hat{h}_{can}$…
In this paper, we give an expression and some estimates of the curvature tensor of the Hodge metric over the moduli space of a polarized Calabi-Yau threefold. The symmetricity of the Yukawa coupling is also studied. In the last section of…
For polarised degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds whose essential skeleton has dimension $1\leq m\leq n$, we show that the $C^0$ potential theoretic limit of the Calabi-Yau metrics agrees with the non-archimedean Calabi-Yau metric on the…
Recent progress in the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau varieties $Y$ with canonical singularities has highlighted the key role played by the higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities, and especially by the so-called $k$-liminal…
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…
Given a polarized family of varieties over the unit disc, smooth except over the origin and with smooth fibers Calabi-Yau, we show that the origin lies at finite Weil-Petersson distance if and only if after a finite base change the family…
In this article, we study the finite distance problem with respect to the period-map metric on the moduli of non-K\"{a}hler Calabi--Yau $\partial\bar{\partial}$-threefolds via Hodge theory. We extended C.-L. Wang's finite distance criterion…
In this paper, we make progress on understanding the collapsing behavior of Calabi-Yau metrics on a degenerating family of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the case of a family of smooth Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective space…
We study the degenerations of asymptotically conical Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics as the K\"ahler class degenerates to a semi-positive class. We show that under appropriate assumptions, the Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics converge to a…
