Coverillustration:DrawingofJ.C.FieldsbyKeithYeomans Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerScience+BusinessMediaLLCNewYorkispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www. springer.com) Preface The thematic program Calabi–Yau Varieties: Arithmetic, Geometry, and Physics washeldattheFieldsInstituteforMathematicalSciencesfromJuly1toDecember 31, 2013. It was organized by Mark Gross (UC San Diego/Cambridge), Sergei Gukov(Caltech),RaduLaza(StonyBrook),MatthiasSchütt(Hannover),Johannes Walcher(McGill),Shing-TungYau(Harvard),andNorikoYui(Kingston/Fields). ThismonographcontainsintroductorymaterialonCalabi–Yaumanifoldsandis basedonlectureswhichtookplaceduringtheintroductoryperiodfortheworkshops of the thematic program. These workshops (“Modular Forms Around String The- ory,” “Enumerative Geometry and Calabi–Yau Varieties,” “Physics Around Mirror Symmetry,”“HodgeTheoryinStringTheory”)andconsequentlythelectureshere explore various perspectives on Calabi–Yau varieties. Thus, the title “Calabi–Yau Varieties:Arithmetic,Geometry,andPhysics”isquiteappropriate. Thegoalofthisvolumeistogiveafriendlyintroductiontotherapidlydeveloping andvastresearchareasconcerningCalabi–Yauvarietiesandstringtheory.Ourhope isthatanyonewhowishestoworkonorisinterestedinsubjectsinthisareawillstart withthisbook.Moreprecisely,wewouldliketotellprospectivegraduatestudents that“ThisisabookyoushouldreadifyouareinterestedingettingintotheCalabi– Yauworlds:mathematicsandstringtheory.” The articles presented in this volume have been prepared by young researchers (mostly students and postdocs affiliated with the thematic program) with utmost enthusiasm, based on the concentrated graduate courses given by them during the thematicprogram.Theeditorswishtoexpresstheirgreatappreciationtoallofthem for preparing their manuscripts for the Fields Monograph Series, which required extra effort presenting not only current developments but also some background material on the topics discussed. All articles in this volume were peer-reviewed. Wearedeeplygratefultoalltherefereesfortheireffortsevaluatingthearticles,in particularinthelimitedtimeframe.ThisvolumewaseditedbyR.Laza,M.Schütt, andN.Yui. The thematic program was financially supported by various organizations. In addition to the Fields Institute, the program received substantial support from the NSF (DMS-1247441, DMS-125481), the PIMS CRG Program Geometry and v vi Preface Physics, and the Perimeter Institute. Additionally, several participants used their individual grants (e.g., NSF, ERC, or NSERC) to cover their travel expenses. We wishtothankalltheseinstitutionsfortheirsupport. Last but not least, our thanks go to everyone at the Fields Institute for making thisthematicprogramsosuccessfulandenjoyable.
