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 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 consider multi-polytopes to describe non-Fano toric varieties and their associated anticanonical Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces. From the periods of the mirror manifold the $\widehat{\Gamma}$-conjecture is shown to hold for examples of…
Four-dimensional CFTs dual to branes transverse to toric Calabi-Yau threefolds have been described by bipartite graphs on a torus (dimer models). We use the theory of dessins d'enfants to describe these in terms of triples of permutations…
We analyze freely-acting discrete symmetries of Calabi-Yau three-folds defined as hypersurfaces in ambient toric four-folds. An algorithm which allows the systematic classification of such symmetries which are linearly realised on the toric…
We prove that the tangent and the reflexivized cotangent sheaves of any normal projective klt Calabi-Yau or irreducible holomorphic symplectic variety are not pseudoeffective, generalizing results of A. H\"oring and T. Peternell…
We solve the part of the Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds which comes from super-rigid rational curves. As an application, we prove a version of the conjectural Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence for contributions…
The Jacobian ring J(X) of a smooth hypersurface determines its isomorphism type. This has been used by Donagi and others to prove the generic global Torelli theorem for hypersurfaces in many cases. In Voisin's original proof of the global…
We formulate the modularity conjecture for rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over the field Q of rational numbers. We establish the modularity for the rigid Calabi-Yau threefold arising from the root lattice A_3. Our proof is based on…
We present a smooth, complete toric threefold with no nontrivial nef line bundles. This is a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Fujino.
We show that the dual of the Cayley cone, associated to a Minkowski sum decomposition of a reflexive polytope, contains a reflexive polytope admitting a nef-partition. This nef-partition corresponds to a Calabi-Yau complete intersection in…
We study the generalization of the idea of a local quiver of a representation of a formally smooth algebra, to broader classes of finitely generated algebras. In this new setting we can construct for every semisimple representation $M$ a…
It is shown that any affine toric variety Y, which is Q-Gorenstein, admits a conical Ricci flat Kahler metric, which is smooth on the regular locus of Y. The corresponding Reeb vector is the unique minimizer of the volume functional on the…
The conjectural equivalence of curve counting on Calabi-Yau 3-folds via stable maps and stable pairs is discussed. By considering Calabi-Yau 3-folds with K3 fibrations, the correspondence naturally connects curve and sheaf counting on K3…
For a class of monadic deformations of the tangent bundles over nef-Fano smooth projective toric varieties, we study the correlators using quantum sheaf cohomology. We prove a summation formula for the correlators, confirming a conjecture…
We prove the rationality of the descendent partition function for stable pairs on nonsingular toric 3-folds. The method uses a geometric reduction of the 2- and 3-leg descendent vertices to the 1-leg case. As a consequence, we prove the…
We construct a quartic threefold with L-rational singularities which has torsion in its middle homology group. This answers a question of Brown and Schnetz for all fields of characteristic zero.
We propose a new exact quantization condition for a class of quantum mechanical systems derived from local toric Calabi-Yau three-folds. Our proposal includes all contributions to the energy spectrum which are non-perturbative in the Planck…
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 study the behavior of the Kodaira dimension of algebraic fiber spaces over threefolds. We prove some cases of the Iitaka Conjecture $C_{n,3}$, including certain situations where the base variety is a Calabi--Yau threefold.
