Calabi-Yau manifolds and their degenerations.

چکیده
Calabi-Yau manifolds are geometric objects of central importance in several branches of mathematics, including differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. In this paper, we give a brief introduction to the subject aimed at a general mathematical audience and present some of our results that shed some light on the possible ways in which families of Calabi-Yau manifolds can degenerate.

Construction of Integral Cohomology in Some Degenerations and Its Application to Smoothing of Degenerate Calabi-yau
A smoothing theorem for normal crossings to Calabi-Yau manifolds was proved by Y. Kawamata and Y. Namikawa ([KaNa]). This paper is a study of the observation that the Picard groups and Chern classes of these Calabi-Yau manifolds are constructible from the normal crossings in such smoothings. We provide and prove the formula for the construction in its full generality and various applications ar...
متن کاملOn the Incompleteness of the Weil-petersson Metric along Degenerations of Calabi-yau Manifolds
The classical Weil-Petersson metric on the Teichmüller space of compact Riemann surfaces is a Kähler metric, which is complete only in the case of elliptic curves [Wo]. It has a natural generalization to the deformation spaces of higher dimansional polarized Kähler-Einstein manifolds. It is still Kähler, and in the case of abelian varieties and K3 surfaces, the Weil-Petersson metric turns out t...
متن کاملThe Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture: From torus fibrations to degenerations
We trace progress and thinking about the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture since its introduction in 1996. In particular, we aim to explain how the conjecture led to the algebro-geometric program developed by myself and Siebert, whose objective is to explain mirror symmetry by studying degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We end by outlining how tropical curves arise in the mirror symmetry story.
متن کاملCalabi-Yau manifolds constructed by K3 fibration with involution
The method to construct the Calabi-Yau manifolds and their mirrors from K3 surfaces was developed by Borcea and Voisin. Using this method, some Calabi-Yau manifolds are constructed. We also investigate their applicability to string duality. [email protected] [email protected]
متن کاملSimply Connected Symplectic Calabi-yau 6-manifolds
In this article, we construct simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau 6-manifold by applying Gompf’s symplectic fiber sum operation along T. Using our method, we also construct symplectic nonKähler Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds with fundamental group Z. We also produce the first examples of simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau and non-Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds via coisotropic Luttinger surgery on non si...
