Readers are advised to begin with the final paper math.DG/0303272 which surveys the series, gives examples, and applies the results to prove some conjectures. The first paper math.DG/0211294 studied the regularity of X near its singular points, and the second math.DG/0211295 the moduli space of deformations of X. The third paper math.DG/0302355 and this one construct desingularizations of X, realizing X as a limit of a family of compact, nonsingular SL m-folds \\tilde N^t in M for small t>0. Let L_1,...,L_n be Asymptotically Conical SL m-folds in C^m, with L_i asymptotic to C_i at infinity. We shrink L_i by t>0, and glue tL_i into X at x_i for i=1,...,n to get a 1-parameter family of compact, nonsingular Lagrangian m-folds N^t for small t>0. Then we show using analysis that for small t we can deform N^t to a compact, nonsingular SL m-fold \\tilde N^t via a small Hamiltonian deformation. As t --> 0 this \\tilde N^t converges to X, in the sense of currents. The third paper math.DG/0302355 studied simpler cases, where by topological conditions on X and L_i we avoid obstructions to existence of \\tilde N^t. This paper considers more complex cases when these obstructions are nontrivial, and also desingularization in smooth families of almost Calabi-Yau m-folds M^s for s in F, rather than a single almost Calabi-Yau m-fold M.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-03-21T12:21:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "isolated conical singularities", "desingularization", "obstructions", "third paper math", "calabi-yau m-fold" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 54, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 615674, "adsabs": "2003math......2356J" } } }
