Calabi–Yau 4-folds of Borcea–Voisin type from F-theory

##### Abstract

We apply Borcea–Voisin’s construction and give new examples of Calabi–Yau 4-folds $Y$, which admit an elliptic fibration onto a smooth 3-fold $V$, whose singular fibers of type ${I}_{5}$ lie above a del Pezzo surface $\mathit{dP}\subset V$. These are relevant models for F-theory according to Beasley et al. (2009a, 2009b). Moreover, we give the explicit equations of some of these Calabi–Yau 4-folds and their fibrations.
