BPS States, String Duality, and Nodal Curves on K3
Shing-Tung Yau, Eric Zaslow
We describe the counting of BPS states of Type II strings on K3 by relating the supersymmetric cycles of genus to the number of rational curves with double points on K3. Th…

Mirror Maps, Modular Relations and Hypergeometric Series II
Bong H. Lian, Shing-Tung Yau
As a continuation of \lianyaufour, we study modular properties of the periods, the mirror maps and Yukawa couplings for multi-moduli Calabi-Yau varieties. In Part A of this paper,…

Mirror Maps, Modular Relations and Hypergeometric Series I
Bong H. Lian, Shing-Tung Yau
Motivated by the recent work of Kachru-Vafa in string theory, we study in Part A of this paper, certain identities involving modular forms, hypergeometric series, and more generall…
