BCOV ring and holomorphic anomaly equation (2008)

Hosono, Shinobu

We study certain differential rings over the moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the case of an elliptic curve, we observe a close relation to the differential ring of quasi-modular forms due to...

Higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of the Grassmannian, and the Pfaffian Calabi-Yau threefolds (2007)

Hosono, Shinobu, Konishi, Yukiko

We solve Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa (BCOV) holomorphic anomaly equation to determine the higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants ($g \leq 5$) of the derived equivalent Calabi-Yau threefolds, which...

On Stokes Matrices of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces (2006)

Doran, Charles F., Hosono, Shinobu

We consider Laplace transforms of the Picard-Fuchs differential equations of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and calculate their Stokes matrices. We also introduce two different types of Laplace transforms...

Central charges, symplectic forms, and hypergeometric series in local mirror symmetry (2004)

Hosono, Shinobu

We study a cohomology-valued hypergeometric series which naturally arises in the description of (local) mirror symmetry. We identify it as a central charge formula for BPS states and study its...

Kummer structures on a K3 surface: An old question of T. Shioda (2003)

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

We apply our earlier results on Fourier-Mukai partners to answer definitively a question about Kummer surface structures posed by T. Shioda twenty-five years ago.

Counting Unimodular Lattices in $\R^{r,s}$ (2003)

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

Narain lattices are unimodular lattices {\it in} $\R^{r,s}$, subject to certain natural equivalence relation and rationality condition. The problem of describing and counting these rational...

c=2 Rational Toroidal Conformal Field Theories via the Gauss Product (2002)

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

We find a concise relation between the moduli $\tau, \rho$ of a rational Narain lattice $\Gamma(\tau,\rho)$ and the corresponding momentum lattices of left and right chiral algebras via the Gauss...

Fourier-Mukai partners of a K3 surface of Picard number one (2002)

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

We shall give a complete geometrical description of the FM partners of a K3 surface of Picard number 1 and its applications.

Counting BPS States via Holomorphic Anomaly Equations (2002)

Hosono, Shinobu

We study Gromov-Witten invariants of a rational elliptic surface using holomorphic anomaly equation in [HST1](hep-th/9901151). Formulating invariance under the affine $E_8$ Weyl group symmetry, we...

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

We apply our earlier results on Fourier-Mukai partners to answer definitively a question about Kummer surface structures, posed by T. Shioda 25 years ago.

Fourier-Mukai number of a K3 surface (2002)

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

We shall give a Counting Formula for the number of Fourier-Mukai partners of a K3 surface and consider three applications.

Autoequivalences of Derived Category of A K3 Surface and Monodromy Transformations (2002)

Hosono, Shinobu, Lian, Bong H., Oguiso, Keiji, Yau, Shing-Tung

We consider autoequivalences of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a K3 surface. We prove that the image of the autoequivalences has index at most two in the group of the Hodge...

Relative Lefschetz Action and BPS State Counting (2001)

Hosono, Shinobu, Saito, Masa-Hiko, Takahashi, Atsushi

In this paper, we propose a mathematical definition of a new ``numerical invariants" of Calabi--Yau 3-folds from stable sheaves of dimension one, which is motivated by the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture...

On Mirror Symmetry Conjecture for Schoen's Calabi-Yau 3 folds (1997)

Hosono, Shinobu, Saito, Masa-Hiko, Stienstra, Jan

In this paper, we verify a part of the Mirror Symmetry Conjecture for Schoen's Calabi-Yau 3-fold, which is a special complete intersection in a toric variety. We calculate a part of the prepotential...
