It is one of the most important problems in mirror symmetry to obtain functorially Frobenius manifolds from smooth compact Calabi-Yau $A_\infty$-categories. This paper gives an approach to this problem based on the theory of primitive forms. Under an assumption on the formality of a certain homotopy algebra, a formal primitive form for a smooth compact Calabi-Yau dg algebra can be constructed, which enable us to have a formal Frobenius manifold.
We discuss Calabi-Yau and fractional Calabi-Yau semiorthogonal components of derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective varieties. The main result is a general construction of a fractional Calabi-Yau category from a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition and a spherical functor. We give many examples of application of this construction and discuss some general properties of Calabi-Yau categories.
Extending the notion of Frobenius-splitting, we prove that every finite height Calabi-Yau variety defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic can be lifted to the ring of Witt vectors of length two.
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.
In this survey, we discuss the state of art about the monodromy property for Calabi-Yau varieties. We explain what is the monodromy property for Calabi-Yau varieties and then discuss some examples of Calabi-Yau varieties that satisfy this property. After this recap, we discuss a possible approach to future research in this area.
We develop some methods to construct normal crossing varieties whose dual complexes are two-dimensional, which are smoothable to Calabi--Yau threefolds. We calculate topological invariants of smoothed Calabi--Yau threefolds and show that several of them are new examples.
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 cannot be lifted to characteristic zero, although one-dimensional and two-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties, i.e., elliptic curves and K3 surfaces, are all liftable to characteristic zero. In this respect, Calabi-Yau threefolds in positive characteristic are interesting in view of deformation theory and they are still very mysterious.
We show the boundedness of B-pluricanonical representations of lc log Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension $2$. As applications, we prove the boundedness of indices of slc log Calabi-Yau pairs up to dimension $3$ and that of non-klt lc log Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension $4$.
Motivated by the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, Voisin has made a conjecture concerning the behaviour of zero-cycles on self-products of Calabi-Yau varieties. This note contains some examples of Calabi-Yau fourfolds verifying Voisin's conjecture.
We survey recent construction of non-Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds by smoothing SNC varieties obtained by non-trivial isomorphisms of strict Calabi-Yau manifolds. We also give a new example by smoothing an SNC 3-fold which are constructed from automorphisms of an abelian surface.
It is known that a maximal intersection log canonical Calabi-Yau surface pair is crepant birational to a toric pair. This does not hold in higher dimension: this paper presents some examples of maximal intersection Calabi-Yau pairs that admit no toric model.
In this paper, we will construct new examples of derived equivalent Calabi--Yau 3-folds with Picard number greater than one. We also study their mirror Calabi--Yau manifolds and find that they are given by Schoen's fiber products of suitable rational elliptic modular surfaces.
We prove derived equivalence of Calabi-Yau threefolds constructed by Ito-Miura-Okawa-Ueda as an example of non-birational Calabi-Yau varieties whose difference in the Grothendieck ring of varieties is annihilated by the affine line.
This note is a report on the observation that the Enriques-Fano threefolds with terminal cyclic quotient singularities admit Calabi-Yau threefolds as their double coverings. We calculate the invariants of those Calabi-Yau threefolds when the Picard number is one. It turns out that all of them are new examples.
We present a list of arithmetically Gorenstein Calabi-Yau threefolds in $\mathbb{P}^7$ and give evidence that this is a complete list. In particular we construct three new families of arithmetically Gorenstein Calabi-Yau threefolds in $\mathbb{P}^7$ for which no mirror construction is known.
We establish a global Torelli theorem for the complete family of Calabi-Yau threefolds arising from cyclic triple covers of $\mathbb P^3$ branched along stable hyperplane arrangements.
In this note we construct conifold transitions between several Calabi-Yau threefolds given by Pfaffians in weighted projective spaces and Calabi-Yau threefolds appearing as complete intersections in toric varieties. We use the obtained results to predict mirrors following ideas of \cite{BCKS, Batsmalltoricdegen}. In particular we consider the family of Calabi--Yau threefolds of degree 25 in $\mathbb{P}^9$ obtained as a transverse intersection of two Grassmannians in their Plucker embeddings.
We study the birational boundedness of special fibers of log Calabi-Yau fibrations and Fano fibrations. We show that for a locally stable family of Fano varieties or polarised log Calabi-Yau pairs over a curve, if the general fiber satisfies some natural boundedness conditions, then every irreducible component of the special fiber is birationally bounded.
We study noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds, their moduli spaces of vector bundles and deformation theory. We present Calabi-Yau threefolds that have infinitely many distinct deformations, constructing them explicitily, and describe the effect that such deformations produce on moduli spaces of vector bundles.
Based on recent work of Totaro, we provide two simple constructions of non-liftable Calabi-Yau varieties in characteristic $p \geq 5$. Our examples are of dimension $2p$ and $2p+1$.
In this note we prove the semiampleness conjecture for klt Calabi--Yau surface pairs over an excellent base ring. As applications we deduce that generalised abundance and Serrano's conjecture hold for surfaces. Finally, we study the semiampleness conjecture for Calabi--Yau threefolds over a mixed characteristic DVR.
We write out explicit proper Calabi-Yau structures, i. e. non-degenerate cyclic cocycles on the differential graded categories of matrix factorizations of regular functions with isolated critical points. The formulas involve the Kapustin-Li trace and its "higher corrections".
We show some inductive statements for the index conjecture for log canonical Calabi-Yau pairs. Using it, we show that boundedness of log canonical index for log canonical Calabi Yau pairs with rational DCC coefficients in dimension 3. We also show boundedness of log canonical index for klt log Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 4 with $B\neq 0$.
We show an example of non-simply connected non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefold over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $3$. It is constructed from a simply connected example by S.~Schröer.
Based on Cynk-Hulek method we construct complex Calabi-Yau varieties of arbitrary dimensions using elliptic curves with automorphism of order 6. Also we give formulas for Hodge numbers of varieties obtained from that construction. We shall generalize result of Katsura and Schütt to obtain arbitrarily dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds which are Zariski in any characteristic $p\not\equiv 1\pmod{12}.$
