Assuming the standard framework of mirror symmetry, a conjecture is formulated describing how the diffeomorphism group of a Calabi-Yau manifold Y should act by families of Fourier-Mukai transforms over the complex moduli space of the mirror…
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 prove a homological mirror symmetry result for maximally degenerating families of hypersurfaces in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ (B-model) and their mirror toric Landau-Ginzburg A-models. The main technical ingredient of our construction is a…
We give a purely algebraic proof of the hypersurface case of Toric Residue Mirror Conjecture recently proposed by Batyrev and Materov.
We give an example of the recent proposed mirror construction of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow in ``Mirror Symmetry is T-duality,'' hep-th/9606040. The paper first considers mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces in light of this construction. We…
We give geometric explanations and proofs of various mirror symmetry conjectures for $T^{n}$-invariant Calabi-Yau manifolds when instanton corrections are absent. This uses fiberwise Fourier transformation together with base Legendre…
Extending work of Bielawski-Dancer and Konno, we develop a theory of toric hyperkahler varieties, which involves toric geometry, matroid theory and convex polyhedra. The framework is a detailed study of semi-projective toric varieties,…
We prove birational boundedness results on complete intersections with trivial canonical class of base point free divisors in (some version of) Fano varieties. Our results imply in particular that Batyrev-Borisov toric construction produces…
In 2021, Dzhunusov and Zaitseva classified two-dimensional normal affine commutative algebraic monoids. In this work, we extend this classification to noncommutative monoid structures on normal affine surfaces. We prove that two-dimensional…
We study the geometric engineering of supersymmetric quantum field theories (QFT), with non simply laced gauge groups, obtained from superstring and F-theory compactifications on local Calabi-Yau manifolds. First we review the main lines of…
We study the cohomology of broken toric varieties via the derived push-forward of the constant sheaf to a complex of polytopes, proving a Deligne-type decomposition theorem, degeneration of the associated Leray-Serre spectral sequence, and…
We suggest an interpretation of mirror symmetry for toric varieties via an equivalence of two conformal field theories. The first theory is the twisted sigma model of a toric variety in the infinite volume limit (the A-model). The second…
In 1996, Strominger, Yau and Zaslow made a conjecture about the geometric relationship between two mirror Calabi-Yau manifolds. Roughly put, if X and Y are a mirror pair of such manifolds, then X should possess a special Lagrangian torus…
We introduce a cap product pairing for homology and cohomology of tropical cycles on integral affine manifolds with singularities. We show the pairing is perfect over $\mathbb{Q}$ in degree one when the manifold has at worst symple…
Using the algebraic geometric approach of Berenstein et {\it al} (hep-th/005087 and hep-th/009209) and methods of toric geometry, we study non commutative (NC) orbifolds of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties with discrete torsion.…
This work establishes a subtle connection between mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau threefolds and that of curves of higher genus. The linking structure is what we call a perverse curve. We show how to obtain such from Calabi-Yau threefolds in…
One may construct a large class of Calabi-Yau varieties by taking anticanonical hypersurfaces in toric varieties obtained from reflexive polytopes. If the intersection of a reflexive polytope with a hyperplane through the origin yields a…

Let $n$ be an even natural number. We compute the periods of any $\frac{n}{2}$-dimensional complete intersection algebraic cycle inside an $n$-dimensional non-degenerated intersection of a projective simplicial toric variety. Using this…
We introduce the notion of good pair of generalized nef partitions to describe Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Q-Fano toric varieties whose equations do not necessarily have maximal Newton polytopes. Moreover, we define a natural…
