Cubic and quartic non-autonomous differential equations with continuous piecewise linear coefficients are considered. The main concern is to find the maximum possible multiplicity of periodic solutions. For many classes, we show that the…
This article studies the orthogonal hypergeometric groups of degree five. We establish the thinness of 12 out of the 19 hypergeometric groups of type O(3,2) from [4, Table 6]. Some of these examples are associated with Calabi-Yau 4-folds.…
We perform the Kaluza-Klein reduction of M-theory on warped Calabi-Yau fourfolds with non-trivial four-form flux turned on. The resulting scalar- and superpotential is computed and compared with the superpotential obtained by Gukov, Vafa…
We find a simple geometric construction of Tonoli's examples of Calabi--Yau threefolds of degree 17 in complex $\mathbb{P}^6$. We prove that the rank of the Picard group of elements of one of these families is at least $2$.
We compute an explicit rank bound on the Picard group of the compact surfaces, which can serve as the base of an elliptic Calabi-Yau variety with canonical singularities. To bound the Picard rank from above, we develop a novel strategy in…
In the study of conformal geometry, the method of elliptic partial differential equations is playing an increasingly significant role. Since the solution of the Yamabe problem, a family of conformally covariant operators (for definition,…

The Poincare conjecture is analyzed in the context of Calabi-Yau $n$-folds. A simple treatment is given by embedding the three-manifolds into these CY manifolds, and then taking the orbifold limit. The higher-dimensional proofs are also…
We construct higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties defined over a given number field with Zariski dense sets of rational points. We give two elementary constructions in arbitrary dimensions as well as another construction in dimension…
We give two applications of the Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci estimate to the Calabi-Yau equation on symplectic four-manifolds. The first is solvability of the equation on the Kodaira-Thurston manifold for certain almost-Kahler structures…
In this note, an overview of Calabi-Yau varieties in positive characteristic is presented. Although Calabi-Yau varieties in characteristic zero are unobstructed, there are examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds in positive characteristic which…
We study two classes of linear difference differential equations analogous to Euler-Cauchy ordinary differential equations, but in which multiple arguments are shifted forward or backward by fixed amounts. Special cases of these equations…
We find shift operators for the Dotsenko-Fateev equation, which is a differential equation of order 3, and for the three Fuchsian differential equations of order 4, 5 and 6, respectively, which are connected with the Dotsenko-Fateev…
The strong convergence of Wong-Zakai approximations of the solution to the reflecting stochastic differential equations was studied in [2]. We continue the study and prove the strong convergence under weaker assumptions on the domain.
In this work, we study the local zeta functions of Calabi-Yau fourfolds. This is done by developing arithmetic deformation techniques to compute the factor of the zeta function that is attributed to the horizontal four-form cohomology.…
The increasing precision of many experiments in elementary particle physics leads to continuing interest in perturbative higher order calculations in the electroweak Standard Model or extensions of it. Such calculations are of increasing…
We construct Calabi-Yau 3-folds as orbifolds embedded in weighted projective space in codimension 4. For each Hilbert series that is realised, there are at least two different components of Calabi-Yau 3-folds.
For the system of second order quasilinear parabolic equations the problem of reducing them to the equations of diffusion type is considered. In non-degenerate case an effective algorithm for solving this problem is suggested.
In this paper we will exhibit a rational parametric solution for the Diophantine equations of diagonal quartic varieties. Our approach is based on utilizing the Calabi-Yau varieties including elliptic curves and diagonal quartic surfaces.
We classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of 4 projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi-Yau 3-folds…
