Statement of Interest:



I have worked on two things recently. One is the solution of
topological string theory on a class of one-parameter compact
Calabi-Yau 3-folds to very high genus. This has been a long-standing
problem of almost a decade. By using some recent technical
advancements, namely a approach of integrating the holomorphic
anomaly equation efficiently and some novel boundary conditions in
the Calabi-Yau moduli space, we are able to make a major progress on
this question. This work was done in collaboration with Klemm et
al. 

Another research direction of mine is the continuation of the study
about observational signatures and non-Gaussianities in general single
field inflation. In particular the trispectrum of a class of
inflationary models were calculated and found to have observable
signatures in future CMB (Cosmic Microwave
Background)experiments. This work was done in collaboration with
Shiu.
