Seminar: Tools for constructing Calabi-Yau varieties and their moduli
ICTP
Leonardo Building - Euler Lecture Hall (in person)
Abstract:
Among the many puzzling features of the Calabi-Yau Landscape, perhaps the most fundamental one is its astronomical size.
I will discuss how various open questions in mathematics and physics have motivated the construction of Calabi-Yau varieties tailored specifically to fill out preferred corners of the Landscape.
It is well known that Machine Learning techniques have produced over 473 million Calabi-Yau threefolds. Using only classical tools, I will describe examples including: a Calabi-Yau vampire and an elementary local Calabi-Yau threefold having infinitely many distinct infinitesimal deformations.
