Specializing to fibers of “nearly maximal” Picard rank\, we o btain a complete classification (and construction !) for these Calabi-Yau threefolds. The class includes the famous “quintic mirror” and its Hodge-t heoretic analogues. This is joint work with Andrew Harder\, Andrey Novosel tsev\, and Alan Thompson. Time permitting\, we will formulate two applicat ions in theoretical physics. The first\, already mentioned in yesterday’s Colloquium\, is to my new mirror symmetry conjecture with Harder and Thomp son. The second uses the periods of an iterated fibration structure in a t ower of Calabi-Yau manifolds to recursively construct the “n-sunset” Feynm an integrals to all loop orders. This last is joint with Andrey Novoseltse v and Pierre Vanhove.\n DTSTART:20181130T160000Z DTEND:20181130T170000Z LOCATION:Room PK-5115 \, CA\, 201 Ave. President-Kennedy SUMMARY:Charles Doran\, University of Alberta URL:/mathstat/channels/event/charles-doran-university- alberta-292153 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
