$G_2$ Mirrors from Calabi-Yau Mirrors

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-02-16 v2

Abstract

We study the worldsheet CFTs of type II strings on compact G2G_2 orbifolds obtained as quotients of a product of a Calabi-Yau threefold and a circle. For such models, we argue that the Calabi-Yau mirror map implies a mirror map for the associated G2G_2 varieties by examining how anti-holomorphic involutions behave under Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry. The mirror geometries identified by the worldsheet CFT are consistent with earlier proposals for twisted connected sum G2G_2 manifolds.
