Abstract: The present paper gives an account and quantifies the change in topology induced by small and type II geometric transitions, by introducing the notion of the emph{homological type} of a geometric transition. The obtained results agree with, and go further than, most results and estimates, given to date by several authors, both in mathematical and physical literature.


A geometric transition between two Calabi-Yau threefolds \(Y\) and \(\widetilde Y\) is the process \(T(Y,\overline Y, \widetilde Y)\) obtained by ``composing a birational contraction \(Y \to \overline Y\) to a normal threefold \(\overline Y\), with a complex smoothing of \(\overline Y\) to \(\widetilde Y\). The paper concentrates on the changes in topology (reflected in Betti and Hodge numbers) induced by a geometric transition.
