Abstract: We give an overview of some mostly conjectural aspects of modularity for Calabi-Yau threefolds originating in physics. We focus on one parameter families of hypergeometric type and give computational results in terms of classical modular forms. This is based on work with K. Boenisch, A. Klemm, and D. Zagier, 2203.09426.

 

Bio: Emanuel Scheidegger is an associate professor at BICMR since August 2018. His research topic lies at the intersection of geometry, algebra, topology, number theory and physics. The main focus is on  mathematical aspects of topological string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. He graduated from ETH Zurich and received his Ph. D. from the University of Munich.
