Determinantal Quintics and Mirror Symmetry of Reye Congruences
Abstract
We study a certain family of determinantal quintic hypersurfaces in whose singularities are similar to the well-studied Barth-Nieto quintic. Smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds with Hodge numbers are obtained by taking crepant resolutions of the singularities. It turns out that these smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds are in a two dimensional mirror family to the complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds in which have appeared in our previous study of Reye congruences in dimension three. We compactify the two dimensional family over and reproduce the mirror family to the Reye congruences. We also determine the monodromy of the family over completely. Our calculation shows an example of the orbifold mirror construction with a trivial orbifold group.
