We construct a class of perturbations of the Cauchy-Riemann equations for maps from curves to a Calabi-Yau threefold. Our perturbations vanish on components of zero symplectic area. For generic 1-parameter families of perturbations, the…

We attempt to define a new invariant I of (almost) Calabi-Yau 3-folds M, by counting special Lagrangian rational homology 3-spheres N in M in each 3-homology class, with a certain weight w(N) depending on the topology of N. This is…

We consider Calabi-Yau threefolds Y defined as smooth linear sections of the double cover of the quintic symmetric determinantal hypersurface in P^{14}. In our previous works, we have shown that these Calabi-Yau threefolds Y are naturally…

M-theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold admitting a small resolution gives rise to an Abelian vector multiplet and a charged hypermultiplet. We introduce into this picture a procedure to construct threefolds that naturally host matter with…

Let $X\to \mathbb P^2$ be the elliptic Calabi-Yau threefold given by a general Weierstrass equation. We answer the enumerative question of how many discrete rational curves lie over lines in the base, proving part of a conjecture by Huang,…

We give a differential-geometric construction and examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds, at least one of which is {\it{new}}. Ingredients in our construction are {\it admissible pairs}, which were dealt with by Kovalev in \cite{K03} and further…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$ and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $K$, defined either by an equation of the form $y^{2} = f(x)$ with degree $3$ or as the Jacobian of a curve defined by an equation of the form…

We study Pfaffians that appear in non-perturbative superpotential terms arising from worldsheet instantons in heterotic theories. A result by Beasley and Witten shows that these instanton contributions cancel among curves within a given…

A \textit{Humbert-Edge curve of type} $n$ is a non-degenerate smooth complete intersection of $n-1$ diagonal quadrics. Such a curve has an interesting geometry since it has a natural action of the group $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^n$. We…

We show that the perfect Euler brick (perfect cuboid) problem is equivalent to the following elementary question: do there exist coprime integers $a, b, m, n$ such that the two expressions $(2(a^2-b^2)mn)^2 + ((a^2+b^2)(m^2-n^2))^2$ and…

This is the first part in a series of papers on counting surfaces on Calabi-Yau 4-folds. Besides the Hilbert scheme of 2-dimensional subschemes, we introduce \emph{two} types of moduli spaces of stable pairs. We show that all three moduli…

Metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds are used to derive a formula that finds the existence of integer solutions to polynomials. These metrics are derived from an associated algebraic curve, together with its anti-holomorphic counterpart. The…

We numerically study whether there exist nowhere vanishing harmonic $1$-forms on the real locus of some carefully constructed examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds, which would then give rise to potentially new examples of $G_2$-manifolds and an…

We construct singular quartic double fivefolds whose Kuznetsov component admits a crepant categorical resolution of singularities by a twisted Calabi--Yau threefold. We also construct rational specializations of these fivefolds where such a…

Given any pair of positive integers m and n, we construct a new Hopf algebra, which may be regarded as a degenerate version of the quantum group of gl(m+n). We study its structure and develop a highest weight representation theory. The…

We first construct a derived equivalence between a small crepant resolution of an affine toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold and a certain quiver with a superpotential. Under this derived equivalence we establish a wall-crossing formula for the…

A Calabi-Yau 4-fold of Camere-Garbagnati-Mongardi is a crepant resolution of the quotient of a hyperk\"ahler 4-fold by an antisymplectic involution. In this paper, we compare two different types of holomorphic torsion invariants; one is the…

Recently, a metric construction for the Calabi-Yau 3-folds from a four-dimensional hyperkahler space by adding a complex line bundle was proposed. We extend the construction by adding a U(1) factor to the holomorphic (3,0)-form, and obtain…

We construct Bridgeland stability conditions on the the following hyper-K\"ahler or strict Calabi--Yau manifolds: - Generalized Kummer varieties associated to an abelian surface that is isogenous to a product of elliptic curves. - Universal…

We investigate the quantum volume of D-branes wrapped around cycles of various dimension in Calabi-Yau fourfolds and fivefolds. Examining the cases of the sextic and heptic hypersurface Calabi-Yau varieties, as well as one example in…
