CY manifolds whose moduli space is a locally symmetric space

Abstract:

In this talk we will discuss CY manifolds that are double covers of $CP^3$ ramified over 8 planes. We will show that the moduli space of those CY manifolds is a locally symmetric space. The proof of this fact is based on the proof that the Yukawa coupling does not admit quantum corrections. The meaning of this statement will be explain.
