We give a brief survey of some of the geometry of mirror symmetry, written in 2004 for the "Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Physics". Probably a little bit out of date now in a few places, but hey.

3d mirror symmetry is a mysterious duality for certian pairs of hyperk\"ahler manifolds, or more generally complex symplectic manifolds/stacks. In this paper, we will describe its relationships with 2d mirror symmetry. This could be…

Given X a K3 surface, a mirror dual to X can be identified with a component of the moduli space of semistable sheaves on X. We consider fibrations by K3 surfaces over a one dimensional base that are Calabi-Yau and we obtain a dual fibration…

Derived equivalences of twisted K3 surfaces induce twisted Hodge isometries between them; that is, isomorphisms of their cohomologies which respect certain natural lattice structures and Hodge structures. We prove a criterion for when a…

Ebeling and Ploog \cite{EbelingPloog} studied a duality of bimodular singularities which is part of the Berglund--H$\ddot{\textnormal{u}}$bsch mirror symmetry. Mase and Ueda \cite{MU} showed that this duality leads to a polytope mirror…

We study the effect of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces on D-brane probe physics. The case of elliptically fibered K3 surfaces is considered in detail. In many cases, mirror can transform a singular fiber of Kodaira's type ADE into sets of…

We study the space of stability conditions on $K3$ surfaces from the perspective of mirror symmetry. It is done in the so called attractor backgrounds (moduli) which can be far from the conventional large complex limits and are selected by…

We continue our study on the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ which describes period integrals of the double cover family of K3 surfaces. Near certain special boundary points in the moduli space of the K3 surfaces, we construct the local…

This expository article discusses recent advances in understanding 3-dimensional mirror symmetry and the mathematical definitions of the Higgs and Coulomb branches. This is a slightly expanded version of an article appearing in the Notices…

We give an overview of some recent interactions between the geometry of K3 surfaces and their Ricci-flat Kahler metrics and the dynamical study of K3 automorphisms with positive entropy.

We extend our variant of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces \cite{GN3} and clarify its relation with mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. We introduce two classes (for the models A and B) of Calabi-Yau manifolds fibrated by K3 surfaces…

In this paper we study Seidel's mirror map for abelian and Kummer surfaces. We find that mirror symmetry leads in a very natural way to the classical parametrization of Kummer surfaces in $\P^3$. Moreover, we describe a family of embeddings…

From the viewpoint of mirror symmetry, we revisit the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ for a family of K3 surfaces. We construct a good resolution of the Baily-Borel-Satake compactification of its parameter space, which admits special…
