Higher-Dimensional Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Dimensional Saturation
Abstract
<div> This paper studies Calabi-Yau manifolds in complex dimensions four and higher, extending the classical theory established for dimensions one through three. We prove existence of a compact <i>CYₙ</i> for every <i>n ≥ 1</i>, survey their Hodge theory, moduli spaces, and mirror symmetry, and investigate how the structure of the Calabi-Yau landscape changes as <i>n</i> increases. </div> <div> The central contribution is the <b><i>Dimensional Saturation Program</i></b>: a framework for understanding the asymptotic behaviour of the <i>CY</i> landscape. We propose the <b><i>Dimensional Saturation Conjecture</i></b> that beyond a critical dimension <i>n*</i> , the statistical distributions of <i>CY</i> invariants (Hodge numbers, Euler characteristics, moduli dimensions) converge to universal limiting laws. Four growth models for <i>N(n)</i>, the number of distinct <i>CYₙ</i> types, are developed and compared. Supporting tools include entropy models for the landscape, reflexive polytope combinatorics, and Monte Carlo experiments at dimensions <i>n = 4,. .. , 20</i>. </div>
