Abstract:
We study the ubiquity of multiple fibration structures in known constructions of Calabi-Yau manifolds. The role of these fibrations for string dualities is explored. New tools are provided to analyze the smooth resolutions of singular CY varieties -- including examples with higher rank Mordell-Weil group, non-flat fibers, etc.
