We generalize the toric residue mirror conjecture of Batyrev and Materov to not necessarily reflexive polytopes. Using this generalization we prove the toric residue mirror conjecture for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Gorenstein…
We give a gauge invariant characterisation of the elliptic affine sphere equation and the closely related Tzitz\'eica equation as reductions of real forms of $SL(3, \C)$ anti--self--dual Yang--Mills equations by two translations, or…
In this note we speculate about the structure of maximal product subvarieties in moduli stacks of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We discuss examples for quintic hypersurfaces in the four dimensional projective space.
We consider smooth complete intersection Calabi-Yau 3-folds in minuscule Schubert varieties, and study their mirror symmetry by degenerating the ambient Schubert varieties to Hibi toric varieties. We list all possible Calabi-Yau 3-folds of…
A relation between the number of rational curves of fixed degree on Calabi Yau threefolds and the Picard Fuchs equations, which was suggested as part of the study of mirror symmetry, is verified in the case of complete intersection of two…
It is proved in this paper that a locally complete intersection curve in a smooth affine C-algebra with trival conormal bundle is a set theoretic complete intersection if its corresponding class in the Grothendieck Group is torsion.
We continue the study of intersection bodies of polytopes, focusing on the behavior of $IP$ under translations of $P$. We introduce an affine hyperplane arrangement and show that the polynomials describing the boundary of $I(P+t)$ can be…
In this work we study the affine principal lines of surfaces in 3-space. We consider the binary differential equation of the affine curvature lines and obtain the topological models of these curves near the affine umbilic points (elliptic…
We consider non-degenerate graph immersions into affine space $\mathbb A^{n+1}$ whose cubic form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the affine metric. There exists a correspondence between such graph immersions and…
In part I of this paper we constructed certain fibered Calabi-Yaus by a quotient construction in the context of weighted hypersurfaces. In this paper look at the case of K3 fibrations more closely and study the singular fibers which occur.…
We discuss the resolution of toroidal orbifolds. For the resulting smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds, we calculate the intersection ring and determine the divisor topologies. In a next step, the orientifold quotients are constructed.
Let $f:\CN \rightarrow \C $ be a polynomial map, which is transversal at infinity. Using Sabbah's specialization complex, we give a new description of the Alexander modules of the hypersurface complement $\CN\setminus f^{-1}(0)$, and obtain…
We systematically construct a large number of compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds which are suitable for F-theory model building. These elliptically fibered Calabi-Yaus are complete intersections of two hypersurfaces in a six dimensional ambient…
We prove isoperimetric inequalities for quotients of $n$-dimensional Affine buildings. We use these inequalities to prove topological overlapping for the 2-dimensional skeletons of these buildings.
In this paper we give a new and simplified proof of the variational Hodge conjecture for complete intersection cycles on a hypersurface in projective space.
The relationship between interpolation and separation properties of hypersurfaces in Bargmann-Fock spaces over $\mathbb{C} ^n$ is not well-understood except for $n=1$. We present four examples of smooth affine algebraic hypersurfaces that…
In this paper, we extend our result in [3] to hypersurfaces of any smooth projective variety $Y$. Precisely we let $X_0$ be a generic hypersurface of $Y$ and $c_0:\mathbf P^1\to X_0$ be a generic birational morphism to its image, i.e.…
We conduct a systematic search of codimension 2 Complete Intersection Calabi--Yau threefolds (CICY3) in rank 2 toric ambient spaces and fibered by complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in $\C\P^4$. We classify both the nonsingular…
We construct special Lagrangian 3-spheres in non-K\"ahler compact threefolds equipped with the Fu-Li-Yau geometry. These non-K\"ahler geometries emerge from topological transitions of compact Calabi-Yau threefolds. From this point of view,…
We introduce the notion of tropical Lagrangian multi-sections over a $2$-dimensional integral affine manifold $B$ with singularities, and use them to study the reconstruction problem for higher rank locally free sheaves over Calabi-Yau…
