Arithmetic and Geometry of K3 Surfaces and CalabiYau Threefolds
Arithmetic and Geometry of K3 Surfaces and CalabiYau Threefolds
In recent years, research in K3 surfaces and CalabiYau varieties has seen spectacular progress from both arithmetic and geometric points of view, which in turn continues to have a huge influence and impact in theoretical physicsin particular, in string theory. The workshop on Arithmetic and Geometry of K3 surfaces and CalabiYau threefolds, held at the Fields Institute (August 16-25, 2011), aimed to give a state-of-the-art survey of these new developments. This proceedings volume includes a representative sampling of the broad range of topics covered by the workshop. While the subjects range from arithmetic geometry through algebraic geometry and differential geometry to mathematical physics, the papers are naturally related by the common theme of CalabiYau varieties. With the big variety of branches of mathematics and mathematical physics touched upon, this area reveals many deep connections between subjects previously considered unrelated. Unlike most other conferences, the 2011 CalabiYau workshop started with 3 days of introductory lectures. A selection of 4 of these lectures is included in this volume. These lectures can be used as a starting point for the graduate students and other junior researchers, or as a guide to the subject.
