abstract

We study Calabi-Yau threefolds with large Hodge numbers by constructing and counting triangulations of reflexive polytopes. By counting points in the associated secondary polytopes, we show that the number of fine, regular, star triangulations of polytopes in the Kreuzer-Skarke list is bounded above by $\binom{14,111}{494} \approx 10^{928}$. Adapting a result of Anclin on triangulations of lattice polygons, we obtain a bound on the number of triangulations of each 2-face of each polytope in the list. In this way we prove that the number of topologically inequivalent Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces arising from the Kreuzer-Skarke list is bounded above by $10^{428}$. We introduce efficient algorithms for constructing representative ensembles of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces, including the extremal case $h^{1,1}=491$, and we study the distributions of topological and physical data therein. Finally, we demonstrate that neural networks can accurately predict these data once the triangulation is encoded in terms of the secondary polytope.

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    All fine regular triangulations of 4D reflexive polytopes—including non-FRST vex triangulations—yield smooth, birationally equivalent Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces.

  2. Calabi-Yau Orientifold Hypersurfaces and their F-theory Uplifts

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    An algorithm builds Calabi-Yau orientifolds and F-theory fourfold uplifts from 6d reflexive polytopes derived from orientifold data, with code in CYTools and GitHub.

  3. On Calabi-Yau Threefolds For Unified LVS Inflation

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A database scan identifies 2+14+45 Calabi-Yau threefolds with specified fibration and divisor structures that unify three LVS Kähler moduli inflation models.

  4. Machine Learning Free Quotients of CICYs

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Machine-learning classifiers, especially a multi-head attention model, correctly identify almost all free Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z2xZ2 quotients of CICYs on held-out manifolds, with only three missed Z2xZ2 cases.

  5. Universality in the Axiverse

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Normalized divisor volumes in toric Calabi-Yau threefolds appear universal, and a GOE level-spacing model with a fitted mean reproduces axion statistics across the Kreuzer-Skarke axiverse.

  6. Constraining the axiverse with reionization

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Roughly 10 to 15 percent of explicit string theory axiverse models are disfavored by CMB reionization data unless reheating stayed below about 10^10 GeV.

  7. Pre-Strings Lectures on Artificial Intelligence

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Lecture notes define neural-network field theory and survey how it recovers known QFT/string results plus applied AI techniques for string problems.
