Hodge coniveaux of Calabi-Yau manifolds

Let $X$ be a strict compact Calabi-Yau manifold of dimension $n$. By this, I mean that $X$ is a simply connected projective manifold whose holomorphic forms are generated by a nowhere zero top degree ...

Minimal Betti numbers of simply-connected threefolds with trivial canonical class

By a threefold, I mean a compact complex manifold of dimension three. For a simply-connected threefold with trivial canonical class, its Betti numbers satisfy: $$b_2 \ge 0, b_3 \ge 2.$$ I am wondering ...

Analytical point of view of Kawamata's Unipotent reduction condition for Calabi-Yau family

Motivation: Unipotent reduction condition is very important for study of family of algebraic varieties. For example for algebraic fiber space if we have such condition then the direct image of ...

Examples of Maximal degeneration of Deligne on Calabi-Yau degeneration

Pierre Deligne in his celebrated paper entitling "Local behavior of Hodge structures at infinity" introduced Maximal degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Let $\pi:X\to \mathbb C^*$ be a family of ...

What is the meaning of $(h^{11},h^{21})\to (h^{11}-240,h^{21}+240)$ in Calabi-Yau threefolds?

By browsing through the Hodge data of known Calabi-Yau threefolds, I stumbled upon an observation that frequently enough a pair of Hodge numbers $(h^{11},h^{21})$ comes together with the pair $ (h^{...

Positivity properties of virtual Hodge numbers of Calabi-Yaus

Let $X$ be a normal, projective complex variety with an anticanonical divisor $D$. Do the virtual Hodge numbers of the noncompact Calabi-Yau variety $X$ \ $D$ enjoy some sort of positivity property? ...
