| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The BCOV invariant is an invariant for Calabi-Yau manifolds. It was conjectured that the BCOV invariant is a birational invariant. The co-investigator's ultimate goal is to prove this conjecture. The approach is based on the following theorem: any birational equivalence between algebraic varieties can be decomposed into blow-up/blow-down with smooth center. The research program consists of two steps.
1. We construct BCOV invariant for Kaehler manifolds equipped with a simple normal crossing canonical divisor, which is not necessarily effective.
2. We study the behavior of the extended BCOV invariant under blow-up.
The co-investigator accomplished step 1 and showed that for rigid del Pezzo surfaces, the invariant obtained is equivalent to Yoshikawa's equivariant BCOV invariant. The co-investigator obtained considerable progress on step 2: the change of BCOV invariant under blow-up is uniquely determined by the topological type of the center of the blow-up. This result implies a weak version of the conjecture: the BCOV invariant is a birational invariant modulo a deformation type invariant. The co-investigator also showed that the conjecture holds for Mukai flops. In the research mentioned above, the co-investigator essentially used results from birational geometry and the theory of Quillen metrics. The co-investigator expects that his research could activate new interaction between these research areas, which belong to very different branches of mathematics.
