Calabi-Yau Manifolds Over Finite Fields, II
Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas
We study zeta-functions for a one parameter family of quintic threefolds defined over finite fields and for their mirror manifolds and comment on their structure. The zeta-function…

Calabi-Yau Manifolds Over Finite Fields, I
Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas
We study Calabi-Yau manifolds defined over finite fields. These manifolds have parameters, which now also take values in the field and we compute the number of rational points of t…

Toric Calabi-Yau Fourfolds, Duality Between N=1 Theories and Divisors that Contribute to the Superpotential
V. Braun, P. Candelas, X de la Ossa +1
We study issues related to F-theory on Calabi-Yau fourfolds and its duality to heterotic theory for Calabi-Yau threefolds. We discuss principally fourfolds that are described by re…
