The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture: From torus fibrations to degenerations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We trace progress and thinking about the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture since its introduction in 1996. In particular, we aim to explain how the conjecture led to the algebro-geometric program developed by myself and Siebert, whose objective is to explain mirror symmetry by studying degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We end by outlining how tropical curves arise in the mirror symmetry story.

Integral Affine Structures on Spheres Duke-cgtp-02-05 and Torus Fibrations of Calabi-yau Toric Hypersurfaces I
We describe in purely combinatorial terms dual pairs of integral affine structures on spheres which come from the conjectural metric collapse of mirror families of Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces. The same structures arise on the base of a special Lagrangian torus fibration in the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture. We study the topological torus fibration in the large complex structure limit and ...
متن کاملS ep 1 99 9 Topological Mirror Symmetry
The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture proposes that mirror symmetry can be explained by the existence, in a mirror pair of Calabi-Yau manifolds, of dual special La-grangian T n-fibrations. (See [18,8,6,7] for further clarification of this conjecture.) Recently, Zharkov in [20] proved that non-singular Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties have topological T n-fibrations, and Ruan in [17] h...
متن کاملLagrangian Torus Fibration of Quintic Calabi-yau Hypersurfaces Iii: Symplectic Topological Syz Mirror Construction for General Quintics
In this article we construct Lagrangian torus fibrations for general quintic Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces near the large complex limit and their mirror manifolds using gradient flowmethod. Then we prove the StromingerYau-Zaslow mirror conjecture for this class of Calabi-Yau manifolds in symplectic category.

1. Introduction. Strominger, Yau, and Zaslow [SYZ] conjectured that any Calabi-Yau manifold X having a mirror partner X ∨ should admit a special Lagrangian fi-bration π : X → B. (A mathematical account of their construction can be found in [M].) If so, the mirror manifold X ∨ is obtained by finding some suitable compactifi-cation of the moduli space of flat U(1)-bundles along the nonsingular fi...
متن کاملSpecial Lagrangian Fibrations II: Geometry
This paper is a progress report on work surrounding the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry conjecture [25]. Roughly put, this conjecture suggests the following program for attacking an appropriate form of the mirror conjecture. Let X be a Calabi-Yau n-fold, with a large complex structure limit point p in a compactification of the complex moduli space of X . One expects mirrors of X to be ass...
