Primitive Calabi-Yau Threefolds
Mark Gross
A primitive Calabi-Yau threefold is a non-singular Calabi-Yau threefold which cannot be written as a crepant resolution of a singular fibre of a degeneration of Calabi-Yau threefol…
Black Hole Condensation and the Web of Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Ti-ming Chiang, Brian R. Greene, Mark Gross +1
We review recent work concerning topology changing phase transitions through black hole condensation in Type II string theory. We then also briefly describe a present study aimed a…
Deforming Calabi-Yau Threefolds
Mark Gross
This paper first generalises the Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov unobstructedness theorem to the case of Calabi-Yau threefolds with canonical singularities. The deformation space of such a…
Stable Singularities in String Theory
Paul S. Aspinwall, David R. Morrison, Mark Gross
We study a topological obstruction of a very stringy nature concerned with deforming the target space of an non-linear \sm. This target space has a singularity which may be s…
