We discuss a K3 and torus from view point of "mirror symmetry". We calculate the periods of the K3 surface and obtain the mirror map, the two-point correlation function, and the prepotential. Then we find there is no instanton correction on…
We prove the homological mirror symmetry conjecture of Kontsevich for K3 surfaces in the following form: The Fukaya category of a projective K3 surface is equivalent to the derived category of coherent sheaves on the mirror, which is a K3…
In this article we study the period map for a family of $K3$ surfaces which is given by the anticanonial divisor of a toric variety. We determine the period differential equation and its monodromy group. Moreover we show the exact relation…
We introduce a conjecture on homological mirror symmetry relating the symplectic topology of the complement of a smooth ample divisor in a K3 surface to algebraic geometry of type III degenerations, and prove it when the degree of the…
The largest group which occurs as the rotational symmetries of a three-dimensional reflexive polytope is the symmetric group on four elements. There are three pairs of three-dimensional reflexive polytopes with this symmetry group, up to…
This is an improved version of the eprint previously entitled "Unexpected isomorphisms between hyperk\"ahler fourfolds." We study smooth projective hyperk\"ahler fourfolds that are deformations of Hilbert squares of K3 surfaces and are…
The geometric objects of study in this paper are K3 surfaces which admit a polarization by the unique even unimodular lattice of signature (1,17). A standard Hodge-theoretic observation about this special class of K3 surfaces is that their…
Motivated by a conjecture of Lian and Yau concerning the mirror map in string theory, we determine when the mirror map q-series of certain elliptic curve and K3 surface families are Hauptmoduln (genus zero modular functions). Our geometric…
We explicitly construct modular forms on a $4$-dimensional bounded symmetric domain of type $IV$ based on the variation of the Hodge structures of $K3$ surfaces. We study the ring of our modular forms. Because of the Kneser conditions of…
We solved the long-standing problem of describing the cohomology ring of semiample hypersurfaces in complete simplicial toric varieties. Also, the monomial-divisor mirror map is generalized to a map between the whole Picard group and the…
In this expository note, we review the standard formulation of mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties, and compare this construction to a description of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces which relies on a sublattice…
We study a period map for triple coverings of $\mathbf P^2$branching along special configurations of $6$ lines. Though the moduli space of special configurations isa two dimensional variety,the minimal models of the coverings form a…
In this article, we prove a rigidity criterion for period maps of admissible variations of graded-polarizable mixed Hodge structure, and establish rigidity in a number of cases, including families of quasi-projective curves, projective…
This thesis studies some examples of families of K3 surfaces with Picard lattices of maximal rank. These families occur as invariants of finite automorphism groups. The Picard-Fuchs differential equations describing the variation of Hodge…
We consider K3 surfaces that possess certain automorphisms of prime order p>2 and we present, for these surfaces, a correspondence between the mirror symmetry of Berglund-Huebsch-Chiodo-Ruan and that for lattice polarized K3 surfaces…
The predictions of the Mirror Symmetry are extended in dimensions n>3 and are proven for projective complete intersections Calabi-Yau varieties. Precisely, we prove that the total collection of rational Gromov-Witten invariants of such…
In this paper, we will study the connections between the mirror symmetry of K3 surfaces and the geometry of the Legendre family of elliptic curves. We will prove that the mirror map of the Dwork family is equal to the period map of the…
As a continuation of \lianyaufour, we study modular properties of the periods, the mirror maps and Yukawa couplings for multi-moduli Calabi-Yau varieties. In Part A of this paper, motivated by the recent work of Kachru-Vafa, we degenerate a…
We study some arithmetic properties of the mirror maps and the quantum Yukawa coupling for some 1-parameter deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. First we use the Schwarzian differential equation, which we derived previously, to…
Mumford constructed a family of abelian fourfolds with special stucture not characterized by endomorphism ring. Galluzzi showed that the weight 2 Hodge structure of such a variety decomposes into Hodge substructures via the action of…
