On the Cohomology Groups of Real Lagrangians in Calabi–Yau Threefolds

Abstract: The quintic threefold

X

is the most studied Calabi-Yau

3

-fold in the mathematics literature. In this paper, using v{C}ech-to-derived spectral sequences, we investigate the mod

2

and integral cohomology groups of a real Lagrangian

, obtained as the fixed locus of an anti-symplectic involution in the mirror to

X

. We show that

is the disjoint union of a

3

-sphere and a rational homology sphere. Analysing the mod

2

cohomology further, we deduce a correspondence between the mod

2

Betti numbers of

and certain counts of integral points on the base of a singular torus fibration on

X

. By work of Batyrev, this identifies the mod

2

Betti numbers of

with certain Hodge numbers of

X

. Furthermore, we show that the integral cohomology groups

of

are

2

-primary for

j e q 0, 3

; we conjecture that this holds in much greater generality.
