Compactifications with fluxes and branes motivate us to study various enumerative invariants of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this paper, we study non-perturbative corrections depending on both open and closed string moduli for a class of…
We construct a class of noncommutative crepant resolutions of any Kleinian singularity in the form of noncommutative algebras over its crepant partial resolutions. We argue that such resolutions are Morita equivalent to the canonical…
In this paper the relationship between the classical description of the resolution of quotient singularities and the string picture is reviewed in the context of N=(2,2) superconformal field theories. A method for the analysis of quotients…
The rank 4 locus of a general skew-symmetric 7x7 matrix gives the pfaffian variety in P^20 which is not defined as a complete intersection. Intersecting this with a general P^6 gives a Calabi-Yau manifold. An orbifold construction seems to…
We study here the crepant resolution correspondence for the torus equivariant descendent Gromov-Witten theories of Hilb(C2) and Sym(C2).The descendent correspondence is obtained from our previous matching of the associated CohFTs by…
In this article, we revisit the classical McKay correspondence via homological mirror symmetry. Specifically, we demonstrate how this correspondence can be articulated as a derived equivalence between the category of vanishing cycles…
Motivated by M-theory compactification on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds, we present a correspondence between networks of small resolutions for singular elliptic fibrations and Coulomb branches of five-dimensional N=1 gauge theories. While…
$\mathcal{G}$-structures, where $\mathcal{G}$ is a Lie group, are a uniform characterisation of many differential geometric structures of interest in supersymmetric compactifications of string theories. Calabi-Yau $n$-folds are instances of…
Large N geometric transitions and the Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecture suggest a deep relationship between the sum over planar diagrams and Calabi-Yau threefolds. We explore this correspondence in details, explaining how to construct the…
We construct a wide class of non-geometric compactifications of type II superstring theories preserving N=1 space-time supersymmetry in four dimensions, starting from Calabi-Yau compactifications at Gepner points. Particular examples of…
We extend our variant of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces \cite{GN3} and clarify its relation with mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. We introduce two classes (for the models A and B) of Calabi-Yau manifolds fibrated by K3 surfaces…
We study properties of the Hirzebruch class of quotient singularities $\mathbb{C}^n/G$, where $G$ is a finite matrix group. The main result states that the Hirzebruch class coincides with the Molien series of $G$ under suitable substitution…
In this paper, we investigate the relations among various results concerning the minimal resolution of cyclic quotient singularities of the form $\mathbb{C}^2/G$. We refer to these as "bamboo-type" singularities, since the dual graphs of…
For a toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifold relative to s Aganagic-Vafa outer branes, we prove a correspondence among the genus-zero open Gromov-Witten invariants with maximal winding at each brane and: (i) closed invariants of a toric Calabi-Yau…
Gromov-Witten theory is used to define an enumerative geometry of curves in Calabi-Yau 4-folds. The main technique is to find exact solutions to moving multiple cover integrals. The resulting invariants are analogous to the BPS counts of…
In this paper we define the analogue of Calabi--Yau geometry for generic $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ flux backgrounds in type II supergravity and M-theory. We show that solutions of the Killing spinor equations are in one-to-one correspondence…
Let G be a finite subgroup of SL(n,C), then the quotient C^n/G has a Gorenstein canonical singularity. Bridgeland-King-Reid proved that the G-Hilbert scheme Hilb^G(C^3) gives a crepant resolution of the quotient C^3/G for any finite…
Calabi-Yau algebras are particularly symmetric differential graded algebras. There is a construction called `Calabi-Yau completion' which produces a canonical Calabi-Yau algebra from any homologically smooth dg algebra. Homologically smooth…
The derived McKay correspondence conjecture says that there is an equivalence of triangulated categories between the bounded derived categories of commutative and non-commutative crepant resolutions of a Gorenstein singularity. We will…
We consider Calabi-Yau compactifications with one K\"ahler modulus. Following the method of Candelas et al. we use the mirror hypothesis to solve the quantum theory exactly in dependence of this modulus by performing the calculation for the…
