A 3d topological sigma model describing maps from a 3-manifold Y to a Calabi-Yau 3-fold M is introduced. As the model is topological, we can choose an arbitrary metric on M. Upon scaling up the metric, the path integral by construction…

We survey mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds from the perspective of families of Calabi-Yau manifolds and their period integrals. Special emphasis is laid on distinguished properties of the hypergeometric series of Gel'fand, Kapranov,…

We use tools from the theory of dynamical systems with symmetries to stratify Uhlmann's standard purification bundle and derive a new connection for mixed quantum states. For unitarily evolving systems, this connection gives rise to the…

We study Mirror Symmetry of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. On one hand, we consider the number of ``affine lines'' of each degree in the complement of a smooth cubic in the projective plane. On the other hand, we consider coefficients of a…

We study threefolds fibred by mirror quartic K3 surfaces. We begin by showing that any family of such K3 surfaces is completely determined by a map from the base of the family to the moduli space of mirror quartic K3 surfaces. This is then…

We use tropical curves and toric degeneration techniques to construct closed embedded Lagrangian rational homology spheres in a lot of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We apply this construction to the tropical curves obtained from the 2875 lines on…

Superconformal sigma models with Calabi--Yau target spaces described as complete intersection subvarieties in toric varieties can be obtained as the low-energy limit of certain abelian gauge theories in two dimensions. We formulate mirror…

We introduce a special class of convex rational polyhedral cones which allows to construct generalized Calabi-Yau varieties of dimension $(d + 2(r-1))$, where $r$ is a positive integer and d is the dimension of critical string vacua with…

We present the basic ideas of geometric engineering of the supersymmetric quantum field theories viewed as a low energy limit of type II strings and F-theory on singular Calabi Yau manifolds. We first give the main lines of toric geometry…

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…

We study threefolds fibred by Kummer surfaces associated to products of elliptic curves, that arise as resolved quotients of threefolds fibred by certain lattice polarized K3 surfaces under a fibrewise Nikulin involution. We present a…

We continue the B-model development of the open/closed correspondence proposed by Mayr and Lerche-Mayr, complementing the A-model study in the preceding joint works with Liu and providing a Hodge-theoretic perspective. Given a corresponding…

Understanding the map of line defects in a Quantum Field Theory under a given duality is generically a difficult problem. This paper is the second in a series which aims to address this question in the context of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ mirror…

For a manifold $M$ with an integral closed 3-form $\omega$, we construct a $PU(H)$-bundle and a Lie groupoid over its total space, together with a curving in the sense of gerbes. If the form is non-degenerate, we furthermore give a natural…

We study a mirror interpretation of the relation between the exact partition functions of N=(2,2) gauged linear sigma-models (GLSM) on the 2d sphere and Kahler potentials on the moduli spaces of the CY manifolds proposed by Jockers et al.…

In this work we extend the well-known spectral cover construction first developed by Friedman, Morgan, and Witten to describe more general vector bundles on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau geometries. In particular, we consider the case in…

In this article we discuss some numerical parts of the mirror conjecture. For any 3 - dimensional Calabi - Yau manifold author introduces a generalization of the Casson invariant known in 3 - dimensional geometry, which is called Casson -…

In this note we provide examples of families of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds over Shimura varieties, whose mirror families contain subfamilies over Shimura varieties. Therefore these original families and subfamilies on the mirror side contain…

We exhibit a transformation taking special Lagrangian submanifolds of a Calabi-Yau together with local systems to vector bundles over the mirror manifold with connections obeying deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equations. That is, the…
