Calabi-Yau Varieties: Arithmetic, Geometry and Physics Lecture Notes on Concentrated Graduate Courses

This volume presents a lively introduction to the rapidly developing and vast research areas surrounding Calabi–Yau varieties and string theory. With its coverage of the various perspectives of a wide area of topics such as Hodge theory, Gross–Siebert program, moduli problems, toric approach, and ar...
