چکیده
BRIDGES Mathematical Connections in Art, Music, and Science Mirror curves are present in ethnical art, as Tamil threshold designs or Tchokwe sand drawings. Historically, they are to be found in the art of most peoples surrounding the Mediterranean, the Black and Caspian Seas, in the art of Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Moors, Persians, Turks, Arabs, Syrians, Hebrews and African tribes. Highlights are Celtic interlacing knotworks, Islamic layered patterns and Moorish floor and wall decorations. In this paper mirror curves are considered from the point of view of geometry, tiling theory, graph theory and knot theory. After the enumeration of mirror curves in a rectangular square grid, and a discussion of mirror curves in polyominoes and uniform tessellations, the construction of mirror curves is generalized to any surface.

Mirror-curve Codes for Knots and Links
Inspired by Lomonaco–Kauffman paper on quantum knots and knot mosaics we construct the more concise representation of knot mosaics and grid diagrams via mirror-curves. We introduce codes for mirror-curves treated as knot or link diagrams placed in rectangular square grid, suitable for software implementations and discuss possible applications of mirror-curves.

I review how recent results in quantum field theory confirm two general predictions of the mirror symmetry program in the special case of elliptic curves: (1) counting functions of holomorphic curves on a CalabiYau space (Gromov-Witten invariants) are ‘quasi-modular forms’ for the mirror family; (2) they can be computed by a summation over trivalent Feynman graphs. ∗To be published in The Modul...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry of elliptic curves and Ising Model
We study the differential equations governing mirror symmetry of elliptic curves, and obtain a characterization of the ODEs which give rise to the integral q-expansion of mirror maps. Through theta function representation of the defining equation, we express the mirror correspondence in terms of theta constants. By investigating the elliptic curves in X9-family, the identification of the Landau...
متن کاملA Modularity Test for Elliptic Mirror Symmetry
In this note a prediction of an algebraic mirror construction is checked for elliptic curves of Brieskorn-Pham type via number theoretic methods. It is shown that the modular forms associated to the Hasse-Weil L-series of mirror pairs of such curves are identical. PACS Numbers and
