There is a set of remarkable physical predictions for the structure of BCOV's higher genus B-model of mirror quintic 3-folds which can be viewed as conjectures for the Gromov-Witten theory of quintic 3-folds. They are (i) Yamaguchi--Yau's…

Multiply-connected Calabi-Yau threefolds are of particular interest for both string theorists and mathematicians. Recently it was pointed out that one of the generic degenerations of these spaces (occurring at codimension one in moduli…

We use the Gromov-Witten/Pairs descendent correspondence for toric 3-folds and degeneration arguments to establish the GW/P correspondence for several compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds (including all CY complete intersections in products of…

We formulate and prove a B-model disc level large N duality result for general conifold transitions between compact Calabi-Yau spaces using degenerations of Hodge structures.

We consider splitting type phase transitions between Calabi-Yau fourfolds. These transitions generalize previously known types of conifold transitions between threefolds. Similar to conifold configurations the singular varieties mediating…

We prove that a generic complete intersection Calabi-Yau 3-fold defined by sections of ample line bundles on a product of projective spaces admits a conifold transition to a connected sum of S^{3} \times S^{3}. In this manner, we obtain…

Gromov-Witten theory is used to define an enumerative geometry of curves in Calabi-Yau 5-folds. We find recursions for meeting numbers of genus 0 curves, and we determine the contributions of moving multiple covers of genus 0 curves to the…

We prove the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence between the Gromov-Witten theory of each elliptic orbifold curve and its Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory counterpart via modularity. We show that the correlation functions in these two…

The moduli space of multiply-connected Calabi-Yau threefolds is shown to contain codimension-one loci on which the corresponding variety develops a certain type of hyperquotient singularity. These have local descriptions as discrete…

Associativity of the quantum product ensures flatness of the Dubrovin connection and is the basis for Hodge-theoretic mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use ring and module structure on cohomology pertaining to a Lagrangian…

These are lecture notes on non-K\"ahler complex threefolds presented at the MATRIX program ``The geometry of moduli spaces in string theory''. We review some basics of Calabi-Yau geometry in Section 1, describe topological features of the…

We study relative Gromov-Witten theory via universal relations provided by the interaction of degeneration and localization. We find relative Gromov-Witten theory is completely determined by absolute Gromov-Witten theory. The relationship…

Integrals of the Chern classes of the Hodge bundle in Gromov-Witten theory are studied. We find a universal system of differential equations which determines the generating function of these integrals from the standard descendent potential…

These lecture notes introduce conifold transitions between complex threefolds with trivial canonical bundle from the differential geometric point of view, and with a particular view towards aspects of mathematical physics and string theory.…

We propose a general theory of the Open Gromov-Witten invariant on Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce the moduli space of multi-curves and show how it leads to invariants. Our construction is based on an idea of Witten. In the special…

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…

This is the first of two papers which construct a purely algebraic counterpart to the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants (at all genera). These Gromov-Witten type invariants depend on a Calabi-Yau A-infinity category, which plays the role…

Kontsevich and Soibelman introduced a notion of orientation data on Calabi-Yau category. It can be viewed as a consistent choice of spin structure on moduli space of objects in the given category. The orientation data plays an important…

Degenerate contributions to higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds are computed via Hodge integrals. The vanishing of contributions of covers of elliptic curves conjectured by Gopakumar and Vafa is proven. A formula for…

We study geometric transitions on Calabi- Yau manifolds from the perspective of the $B$ model. Looking toward physically motivated predictions, it is shown that the traditional conifold transition is too simple a case to yield meaningful…
