We prove a version of the Sarkisov program for volume preserving birational maps of Mori fibred Calabi-Yau pairs valid in all dimensions. Our theorem generalises the theorem of Usnich and Blanc on factorisations of birational maps of the 2-dimensional torus that preserve the canonical volume form.

We generalize the cohomological mirror duality of Borcea and Voisin in any dimension and for any number of factors. Our proof applies to all examples which can be constructed through Berglund-H{u}bsch duality. Our method is a variant of the so-called Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence of Calabi-Yau orbifolds with an involution that does not preserve the volume form. We deduce a version of mirror duality for the fixed loci of the involution, which are beyond the Calabi-Yau category and feature hypersurfaces of general type.
The Sarkisov Program studies birational maps between varieties that are end products of the Minimal Model Program (MMP) on nonsingular uniruled varieties. If X and Y are terminal Q-factorial projective varieties endowed with a structure of Mori fibre space, any birational map between them can be decomposed into a finite number of elementary Sarkisov links. This decomposition is not unique in general, and any two distinct decompositions define a relation in the Sarkisov Program. This paper shows that relations in the Sarkisov Program are generated by some elementary relations. Roughly speaking, elementary relations are the relations among the end products of the MMP of Z over W, for suitable Z and W with relative Picard rank 3.
We exhibit examples of pairs $(X,D)$ where $X$ is a smooth projective variety and $D$ is an anticanonical reduced simple normal crossing divisor such that the deformations of $(X,D)$ are obstructed. These examples are constructed via toric geometry.
Let (S, BS) be the log-pair associated with a compactification of a given smooth quasi-projective surface V . Under the assumption that the boundary BS is irreducible, we propose an algorithm, in the spirit of the (log) Sarkisov program, to factorize any automorphism of V into a sequence of elementary links in the framework of the logarithmic Mori theory. The new noteworthy feature of our algorithm is that all the blow-ups and contractions involved in the process occur on the boundary.
Motivated by mirror symmetry of one-parameter models, an interesting class of Fuchsian differential operators can be singled out, the so-called Calabi--Yau operators, introduced by Almkvist and Zudilin. They conjecturally determine $Sp(4)$-local systems that underly a $mathbb{Q}$-VHS with Hodge numbers [h^{3 0}=h^{2 1}=h^{1 2}=h^{0 3}=1] and in the best cases they make their appearance as Picard--Fuchs operators of families of Calabi--Yau threefolds with $h^{12}=1$ and encode the numbers of rational curves on a mirror manifold with $h^{11}=1$. We review some of the striking properties of this rich class of operators.
