On non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefolds

Abstract

Only two ways to construct non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefolds are currently known, one example by Hirokado and one method of Schröer. This article computes some cohomological invariants of these examples of non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefolds, in particular it computes their mini-versal deformations. One conclusion is that their mixed characteristic mini-versal deformation spaces are actually smooth over the characteristic $p$ base field. Furthermore, a new family, constructed in the spirit of Schröer, is introduced and the same calculations are performed for it.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
