Do there exist Calabi-Yau 3-folds that contain a finite number of elliptic curves?

The moduli space $M_1(X, e)$ of degree $e$ elliptic curves on $X$ has virtual dimension zero if $X$ is a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. I am wondering if there is an example of such an $X$ so that each $M_1(X, e)$...

Iterated integrals on higher dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds?

I recently read about the construction of closed quasi-periodic differential forms on elliptic curves (1-dim Calabi-Yaus) via the Kronecker-Eisenstein series. I now wonder if similar constructions are ...

Mirror partners of some Calabi-Yau threefolds

I don't have experience in mirror symmetry, hence I am not sure that my question is of research level. Sorry in advance. Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\neq 2, 3$. ...

How to find a rational $\mathbb{F}_{\!q}$-curve on a quite classical Calabi–Yau threefold?

Take a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{\!q}$ such that $q \equiv 1 \pmod 3$, i.e., $\omega \mathrel{:=} \sqrt[3]{1} \in \mathbb{F}_{\!q}$, $\omega \neq 1$. Also, for $i \in \{0,1,2\}$ consider the elliptic ...

Can the base of an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold be an Enriques surface?

For this question, a Calabi-Yau manifold or variety of dimension $n$ is defined as a non-singular projective variety with trivial canonical bundle and $h^{i,0} = 0$ unless $i = 0$ or $i = n$. If ...

Constraints on the base of an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold

Let $X\to B$ be an elliptic fibration over a base $B$. I assume that both $X$ and $B$ are smooth projective varieties. The elliptic fibration has a rational section. If $X$ is a Calabi-Yau variety (...
