If $X_{\lambda}$ is a smooth member of the Dwork family over a perfect field $k$, and $Y_{\lambda}$ is its mirror variety, then the motives of $X_{\lambda}$ and $Y_{\lambda}$ are equal up to motives that are in coniveau $\geq 1$. If $k$ is…

Mirror symmetry for del Pezzo surfaces was studied by Auroux, Katzarkov and Orlov who suggested that the mirror should take the form of a Landau-Ginzburg model with a particular type of elliptic fibration. This problem was then considered…
