In this paper, we verify a part of the Mirror Symmetry Conjecture for Schoen's Calabi-Yau 3-fold, which is a special complete intersection in a toric variety. We calculate a part of the prepotential of the A-model Yukawa couplings of the…

We work in the setting of Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry. We establish conditions under which Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry (which relates the derived Fukaya category to the derived category of coherent sheaves on the mirror) implies…
We consider an (N-2)-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold which is defined as the zero locus of the polynomial of degree N (of Fermat type) in CP^{N-1} and its mirror manifold. We introduce the (N-2)-point correlation function (generalized…
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…
We use a relative Fourier-Mukai transform on elliptic K3 surfaces $X$ to describe mirror symmetry. The action of this Fourier-Mukai transform on the cohomology ring of $X$ reproduces relative T-duality and provides an infinitesimal isometry…
We study mirror symmetric pairs of Calabi--Yau manifolds over finite fields. In particular we compute the number of rational points of the manifolds as a function of the complex structure parameters. The data of the number of rational…
A fundamental object of study in mirror symmetry of $n$-dimensional Fano varieties is the A-side connection on small quantum cohomology. When the Picard rank is 1, the Borel transform relates the quantum differential operator of the Fano to…

We study, by means of mirror symmetry, the quantum geometry of the K\"ahler-class parameters of a number of Calabi-Yau manifolds that have $b_{11}=2$. Our main interest lies in the structure of the moduli space and in the loci corresponding…
