abstract
We consider splitting type phase transitions between Calabi-Yau fourfolds. These transitions generalize previously known types of conifold transitions between threefolds. Similar to conifold configurations the singular varieties mediating the transitions between fourfolds connect moduli spaces of different dimensions, describing ground states in M- and F-theory with different numbers of massless modes as well as different numbers of cycles to wrap various p-branes around. The web of Calabi-Yau fourfolds obtained in this way contains the class of all complete intersection manifolds embedded in products of ordinary projective spaces, but extends also to weighted configurations. It follows from this that for some of the fourfold transitions vacua with vanishing superpotential are connected to ground states with nonzero superpotential.

GLSM monodromy on quantum period lattice of Calabi-Yau fourfold flops
For Calabi-Yau fourfold flops, the window-shift monodromy equals an EZ twist composed with tensoring by the canonical bundle, and in two example families this twist decomposes into spherical twists.
