Consider a simple normal crossings variety $X=\bigcup_{i=1}^k X_i$ over $\mathbb{C}$ where $X_i$ are smooth projectiv and a flat family $\mathcal{X}\xrightarrow{\pi}\mathbb{A}^1_{\mathbb{C}}$ with $\...

Is there any stability notion that led to an algebraic variety be smoothable in general for Fano varieties or for Calabi-Yau varieties? Note that Friedman found a nesessary condition that $X$ to be ...

In section 0.3. of their paper "Frobenius Manifolds and Formality of Lie Algebras of Polyvector Fields," Barannikov and Kontsevich discuss the fact that Kontsevich's formality morphism (from his paper ...

It is possible to construct (in many ways) a family of Calabi-Yau quintics $\mathcal{X}\rightarrow \Delta$, over disk, such that the fiber over $0$ has a singularities locally given by the equation $...
