Algebraic Geometry & Mirror Symmetry

  • Cusps of the Kähler Moduli Space and Stability Conditions on K3 Surfaces 36 citations Mathematische Annalen 354(1), 2012.

    Relates boundary points (“cusps”) in the K3 moduli space to Bridgeland stability conditions on derived categories, giving a precise picture of how stability behaves near the boundary. The appendix has become a standard reference for perfect complexes and complex base-change; Proposition 6.4 is frequently cited as the canonical base-change result.

  • Period- and Mirror-Maps for the Quartic K3 13 citations manuscripta mathematica 141(3), 2013.

    Gives a complete, explicit treatment of mirror symmetry for the quartic K3, computing period maps and Picard–Fuchs equations and matching complex and Kähler moduli. It is widely used as the standard reference for the quartic K3 mirror example in later work on K3 surfaces.
