Abstract

We briefly review the origin in physics of attractor points on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We turn to their mathematical interpretation as special cases of Hodge loci. This leads to fascinating conjectures on the modularity of the Calabi-Yau threefolds at these points in terms of their periods and L-functions. For hypergeometric one-parameter families of Calabi-Yau threefolds, these conjectures can be verified at least numerically to very high precision.

Calabi-Yau threefolds with c_2-contractions-revisited
AbstractThe second Chern class $c_2$ plays a special role in studying Calabi-Yau threefolds. Among other things, we discuss about KSC (Kawaguchi-Silverman's Conjecture) and the finiteness problem of real forms of Calabi-Yau threefolds with $c_2$-contractions. Though nothing appears in the title and main statements, our arguments use dynamical degrees due to Dinh-Sibony and current work on slow ...
