Mirror Symmetry via 3-tori for a class of Calabi-Yau Threefolds

چکیده

The authors of [13] have proposed a conjectural construction of mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau threefolds. They argue from the physics that in a neighbourhood of the large complex structure limit (see [8] for the definition of large complex structure limits), any Calabi-Yau threefold X with a mirror Y should admit a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles. In mathematical terminology, this says that there should be a fibration on X whose general fibre is a special Lagrangian 3-torus T .

Special Lagrangian Tori on a Borcea-voisin Threefold

Borcea-Voisin threefolds are Calabi-Yau manifolds. They are constructed by Borcea ([B]) and Voisin ([V]) in the construction of mirror manifolds. In [SYZ], Strominger, Yau and Zaslow propose a geometric construction of mirror manifolds using special Lagrangian tori (called SYZ-construction below). Using degenerate Calabi-Yau metrics Gross and Wilson show that SYZ-construction works for any Borc...

The Geometry Underlying Mirror Symmetry

The recent result of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow relating mirror symmetry to the quantum field theory notion of T-duality is reinterpreted as providing a way of geometrically characterizing which Calabi–Yau manifolds have mirror partners. The geometric description—that one Calabi–Yau manifold should serve as a compactified, complexified moduli space for special Lagrangian tori on the other Calab...

Geometric Aspects of Mirror Symmetry

The geometric aspects of mirror symmetry are reviewed, with an eye towards future developments. Given a mirror pair (X, Y ) of Calabi–Yau threefolds, the best-understood mirror statements relate certain small corners of the moduli spaces of X and of Y . We will indicate how one might go beyond such statements, and relate the moduli spaces more globally. In fact, in the boldest version of mirror...

Mirror Symmetry and Integral Variations of Hodge Structure Underlying One Parameter Families of Calabi-Yau Threefolds

This proceedings note introduces aspects of the authors’ work relating mirror symmetry and integral variations of Hodge structure. The emphasis is on their classification of the integral variations of Hodge structure which can underly families of Calabi-Yau threefolds over P \ {0, 1,∞} with b = 4, or equivalently h = 1, and the related issues of geometric realization of these variations. The pr...

Arithmetic and Geometry of Algebraic Varieties with Special Emphasis on Calabi–yau Varieties and Mirror Symmetry

Chen, Xi (University of Alberta) Xiao’s Conjecture on Canonically Fibered Surfaces Abstract: In 1988, Gang Xiao proposed a list of open problems on algebraic surfaces. Many of these remain open to this day. One of the problems concerns the maximal relative genus of a canonically fibered surface. In this talk, I will talk about my proof of this conjecture. Garcia, Natalia (Queen’s University) Cu...
