Abstract:
I'll give a brief overview of the so far discovered borders in the geography
of Calabi–Yau threefolds.
Mostly I'll be concerned with two (conjecturally almost symmetric) borders:
Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard number one (and also with the related
question of Fano fourfolds with Picard number one),
and Calabi–Yau threefolds with one-dimensional moduli space (also rigid
Calabi–Yau threefolds, that violate mirror symmetry).
I know about a hundred examples, including some hypothetical, and about
fifty examples that I am confident in.
There are less than ten various constructions, that I’ll try to review.
Time permits, I’ll tell some new constructions that produce about a dozen
new examples (or realize some of the old hypotheses).
