Abstract

We introduce some new algebraic structures arising naturally in the geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds and mirror symmetry. We give a universal construction of Calabi-Yau algebras in terms of a noncommutative symplectic DG algebra resolution. In dimension 3, the resolution is determined by a noncommutative potential. Representation varieties of the Calabi-Yau algebra are intimately related to the set of critical points, and to the sheaf of vanishing cycles of the potential. Numerical invariants, like ranks of cyclic homology groups, are expected to be given by `matrix integrals' over representation varieties. We discuss examples of Calabi-Yau algebras involving quivers, 3-dimensional McKay correspondence, crepant resolutions, Sklyanin algebras, hyperbolic 3-manifolds and Chern-Simons. Examples related to quantum Del Pezzo surfaces will be discussed in [EtGi].

On the First Page of the Renaudineau-Shaw Spectral Sequence

In this article, we study the topology of T-hypersurfaces. These cellular hypersurfaces are generalisations of the cellular complexes used to describe the real loci of varieties obtained via Viro's primitive patchworking method. As such, they have deep ties to real geometry. Renaudineau and Shaw introduced a spectral sequence computing their homology from which they derived upper bounds on their Betti numbers using tropical geometry. Here, we study the first page this spectral sequence and express the action of its boundary operators on a distinguished subspace as cap-products with Mikhalkin-Zharkov waves. Then, we characterise those T-hypersurfaces with a maximal number of connected components with respect to the Renaudineau-Shaw inequality with a combinatorial condition on the building triangulation and a system of combinatorial differential equations on the sign distribution. This extends a theorem of Haas for curves. In addition, we study the growth rate of the expected number of connected components and provide examples of T-hypersurfaces of the projective spaces satisfying these conditions in every degree and dimension.

Holomorphic Limits of Kahler Manifolds

Let $π:\cX\toΔ$ be a smooth family of compact complex manifolds over the unit disc, and assume that the fibers $\cX_t$ are Kähler for all $t\inΔ^*$. If $π$ is Kähler at some point $t_0\inΔ^*$, we construct a positive $d$-closed $(1,1)$-current $T$ on the central fiber $\cX_0$ such that $\widetilde{\mathrm{vol}}_n(\{T\})>0$. This implies that $\cX_0$ belongs to Fujiki's class $\mathcal C$ provided its upper volume is finite. We also prove that the central fiber of a smooth family whose punctured fibers are projective is Moishezon, with no additional hypothesis on the central fiber.
