I have heard that the canonical divisor can be defined on a normal variety X since the smooth locus has codimension 2. Then, I have heard as well that for ANY algebraic variety such that the canonical ...

Roughly, a toric degeneration is a proper flat family $f:\mathcal{X}\to D$ of relative dimension $n$ with the properties that $\mathcal{X}_t$ is an irreducible normal Calabi-Yau and $\mathcal{X}_0$ is ...

In my research, we have constructed a Calabi-Yau as a hypersurface of a toric variety and we could compute the fundamental period of the complex moduli, which is a series in four parameters. Say \...

For Calabi-Yau variety $X$ which is a complete intersection $$ f_1=f_2=\ldots=f_r=0 $$ in ${\mathbb P }^n$ (hence $\mathrm{dim}\,X=n-r$) it is possible to construct a Landau-Ginsburg model in the ...

Let $\Delta \subset \mathbb{R}^4$ be a (reflexive) polytope and $X$ be the hypersurfacedefined by a generic section of the any-canonical bundle of the toric variety $\mathbb{P}_{\Delta}$. Are there ...
