Some finiteness results for Calabi–Yau threefolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the moduli theory of Calabi–Yau threefolds, and using Griffiths’ work on the period map, we derive some finiteness results. In particular, we confirm a prediction of Morrison’s Cone Conjecture.

A Finiteness Theorem for Elliptic Calabi-Yau Threefolds
The analagous class for surfaces are the K3 surfaces. All K3 surfaces are homeomorphic: there is one underlying topological type. On the other hand, there are a large number of topological types of minimal Calabi-Yau threefolds, but it is an open question of whether there are a finite number of such types. A stronger question would be to ask whether there are a finite number of families of alge...
متن کاملPrimitive Calabi-yau Threefolds
A Calabi-Yau threefold is a complex projective threefold X (possibly with some suitable class of singularities, say terminal or canonical) with ω X ∼ = O X and h 1 (O X) = h 2 (O X) = 0. One of the fundamental gaps in the classification of algebraic threefolds is the lack of understanding of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Here I will try to set forth a program to bring the morass of thousands of exampl...

متن کاملBlack Holes and Calabi-Yau Threefolds
We compute the microscopic entropy of certain 4 and 5 dimensional extermal black holes which arise for compactification of M-theory and type IIA on Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The results agree with macroscopic predictions, including some subleading terms. The macroscopic entropy in the 5 dimensional case predicts a surprising growth in the cohomology of moduli space of holomorphic curves in Calabi-Yau...
متن کاملPrimitive Contractions of Calabi - Yau Threefolds
We construct examples of primitive contractions of Calabi–Yau threefolds with exceptional locus being P 1 ×P 1 , P 2 , and smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degrees ≤ 5. We describe the images of these primitive contractions and find their smoothing families. In particular we give a method to compute the Hodge numbers of a generic fiber of the smoothing familly of each Calabi–Yau threefold with one ...
