Calabi-Yau threefolds across quadratic singularities
摘要
We examine aspects of non-Kähler geometry in the context of Calabi-Yau degenerations and resolutions. We begin by reviewing some basics of Calabi-Yau geometry in Section 1, describe topological features of the conifold transition in Section 2, and survey recent developments on the geometrization of conifold transitions in Section 3.
