Abstract

In this work we systematically enumerate genus one fibrations in the class of 7, 890 Calabi-Yau manifolds defined as complete intersections in products of projective spaces, the so-called CICY threefolds. This survey is independent of the description of the manifolds and improves upon past approaches that probed only a particular algebraic form of the threefolds (i.e. searches for “obvious” genus one fibrations as in [1, 2]). We also study K3-fibrations and nested fibration structures. That is, K3 fibrations with potentially many distinct elliptic fibrations. To accomplish this survey a number of new geometric tools are developed including a determination of the full topology of all CICY threefolds, including triple intersection numbers. In 2, 946 cases this involves finding a new “favorable” description of the manifold in which all divisors descend from a simple ambient space. Our results consist of a survey of obvious fibrations for all CICY threefolds and a complete classification of all genus one fibrations for 4, 957 “Kähler favorable” CICYs whose Kähler cones descend from a simple ambient space. Within the CICY dataset, we find 139, 597 obvious genus one fibrations, 30, 974 obvious K3 fibrations and 208, 987 nested combinations. For the Kähler favorable geometries we find a complete classification of 377, 559 genus one fibrations. For one manifold with Hodge numbers (19, 19) we find an explicit description of an infinite number of distinct genus-one fibrations extending previous results for this particular geometry that have appeared in the literature. The data associated to this scan is available here [3].
