Mirror Symmetry is T-Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
It is argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold X with a mirror Y admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles. Moreover the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space Y . The mirror transformation is equivalent to T-duality on the 3-cycles. The geometry of moduli space is addressed in a general framework. Several examples are discussed. † email: [email protected] †† email: [email protected] ††† email: [email protected]

Strange duality, mirror symmetry, and the Leech lattice
We give a survey on old and new results concerning Arnold’s strange duality. We show that most of the features of this duality continue to hold for the extension of it discovered by C. T. C. Wall and the author. The results include relations to mirror symmetry and the Leech lattice.
متن کاملDuality In Matrix Theory And Three Dimensional Mirror Symmetry
Certain limits of the duality between M-theory on T /Z2 and IIB on K3 are analyzed in Matrix theory. The correspondence between M-theory five-branes and ALE backgrounds is realized as three dimensional mirror symmetry. Non-critical strings dual to open membranes are explicitly described as gauge theory excitations. We also comment on Type IIA on K3 and the appearance of gauge symmetry enhanceme...
متن کاملFjrw-rings and Landau-ginzburg Mirror Symmetry
Abstract. In this article, we study the Berglund–Hübsch transpose construction W T for invertible quasihomogeneous potential W . We introduce the dual group G and establish the state space isomorphism between the Fan–Jarvis–Ruan–Witten A-model of W/G and the orbifold Milnor ring B-model of W T /G . Furthermore, we prove a mirror symmetry theorem at the level of Frobenius algebra structure for G...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry and Polar Duality of Polytopes
This expository article explores the connection between the polar duality from polyhedral geometry and mirror symmetry from mathematical physics and algebraic geometry. Topics discussed include duality of polytopes and cones as well as the famous quintic threefold and the toric variety of a reflexive polytope.
متن کاملModified Pure Spinors and Mirror Symmetry
It has been argued recently that mirror symmetry exchanges two pure spinors characterizing a generic manifold with SU(3)-structure. We show how pure spinors are modified in the presence of topological D-branes, so that they are still exchanged by mirror symmetry. This exchange emerges from the fact that the modified pure spinors come out as moment maps for the symmetries of A and B-models. The ...
