Mirror Symmetry as a Gauge Symmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-07 v1

Abstract

It is shown that in string theory mirror duality is a gauge symmetry (a Weyl transformation) in the moduli space of N=2N=2 backgrounds on group manifolds, and we conjecture on the possible generalization to other backgrounds, such as Calabi-Yau manifolds.
