Modified pure spinors and mirror symmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

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 modification by the gauge field is argued to ensure the inclusion into the mirror exchange of the A-model non-Lagrangian branes endowed with a non-flat connection. Treating the connection as a distribution on an ambient six-manifold, assumed to be T^3-fibered, the proposed mirror formula is established by fiberwise T-duality.
