Local Zeta Functions of Multiparameter Calabi-Yau Threefolds from the Picard-Fuchs Equations
Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Pyry Kuusela
The deformation approach of arXiv:2104.07816 for computing zeta functions of one-parameter Calabi-Yau threefolds is generalised to cover also multiparameter manifolds. Consideratio…
Quantum aspects of heterotic systems
Xenia de la Ossa, Magdalena Larfors, Matthew Magill +1
Compactifications of the heterotic string, to first order in the expansion, on manifolds with integrable structure give rise to three-dimensional supergr…
Some Identities For Periods of Hulek-Verrill Threefolds
Xenia de la Ossa, Mohamed Elmi
We study the Hulek--Verrill families of Calabi--Yau threefolds. They are birationally equivalent to fibred products of elliptic surfaces, so we expect to be able to compute periods…
-algebras and strings with torsion
Xenia de la Ossa, Mateo Galdeano, Enrico Marchetto
We explore the connection between super -algebras (-algebras) and -structures with torsion. The former are realised as symmetry algebras of s…
Classical Weight-Four L-value Ratios as Sums of Calabi--Yau Invariants
Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Joseph McGovern
We revisit the series solutions of the attractor equations of 4d N=2 supergravities obtained by Calabi--Yau compactifications previously studied in Candelas, Kuusela, and McGovern…
