Motivated by Strominger-Yau-Zaslow's mirror symmetry proposal and Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry conjecture, we study mirror phenomena (in A-model) of certain results from Donaldson-Thomas theory for Calabi-Yau 4-folds.
In this note we study several conditions to be imposed on a mirror symmetry candidate to the generic multi-quasihomogeneous Calabi-Yau variety defined in the product of the quasihomogeneous projective spaces. We propose several properties…
In this paper, we give a proof of homological mirror symmetry for two variable invertible polynomials, where the symmetry group on the $B$-side is taken to be maximal. The proof involves an explicit gluing construction of the Milnor fibres,…
Consider the space Hom(Z^n,G) of pairwise commuting n-tuples of elements in a compact Lie group G. This forms a real algebraic variety, which is generally singular. In this paper, we construct a desingularization of the generic component of…
We generalize the classical theory of Higgs bundles, spectral curves and Norm maps to Deligne-Mumford curves. As an application, under some mild conditions, we prove the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow duality for the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles…
We discuss homological mirror symmetry for the conifold from the point of view of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture.
Motivated by geometric Langlands, we initiate a program to study the mirror symmetry between nilpotent orbit closures of a semisimple Lie algebra and those of its Langlands dual. The most interesting case is $B_n$ via $C_n$. Classically,…
We discuss the relation between transposition mirror symmetry of Berlund and H\"ubsch for bimodal singularities and polar duality of Batyrev for associated toric K3 hypersurfaces. We also show that homological mirror symmetry for…
We obtain a series of new results on the problem of irreducibility of commuting varieties associated with symmetric pairs or, in other words, $Z_2$-graded simple Lie algebras. In particular, we present many examples of reducible commuting…
This article records basic topological, as well as homological properties of the space of homomorphisms Hom(L,G) where L is a finitely generated discrete group, and G is a Lie group, possibly non-compact. If L is a free abelian group of…
We show that the Lie potential on the minimal semisimple adjoint orbit $\mathcal{O}_n$ of $\mathfrak{sl}(n+1,\mathbb{C})$ coincides with toric potential on $T^*\mathbb P^{n}$. We then study the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg models in…
The main purpose of this paper is to give a mathematical definition of ``mirror symmetry'' for Calabi-Yau and G_2 manifolds. More specifically, we explain how to assign a G_2 manifold (M,\phi,\Lambda), with the calibration 3-form \phi and…
We study Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds $(f,G)$ with $f=x_1^n+\ldots+x_N^n$ and $G=S\ltimes G^d$, where $S\subseteq S_N$ and $G^d$ is either the maximal group of scalar symmetries of $f$ or the intersection of the maximal diagonal symmetries of…
We prove the Topological Mirror Symmetry Conjecture by Hausel-Thaddeus for smooth moduli spaces of Higgs bundles of type $\operatorname{SL}_n$ and $\operatorname{PGL}_n$. More precisely, we establish an equality of stringy Hodge numbers for…
Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry studies isomorphisms between graded Frobenius algebras, known as A- and B-models. Fundamental to constructing these models is the computation of the finite, Abelian $\textit{maximal symmetry group}$…
For a semisimple real Lie group $G$, we study topological properties of moduli spaces of polystable parabolic $G$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a divisor of finitely many distinct points. For a split real form of a complex…
We analyze the moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds and their associated conformally invariant nonlinear sigma-models and show that they are described by an unexpectedly rich geometrical structure. Specifically, the Kahler sector of the…
BHK mirror symmetry as introduced by Berglund--H\"ubsch and Marc Krawitz between Landau--Ginzburg (LG) models has been the topic of much study in recent years. An LG model is determined by a potential function and a group of symmetries. BHK…
Fibrations of flux backgrounds by supersymmetric cycles are investigated. For an internal six-manifold M with static SU(2) structure and mirror \hat{M}, it is argued that the product M x \hat{M} is doubly fibered by supersymmetric…
We propose and give strong evidence for a duality relating Type II theories on Calabi-Yau spaces and heterotic strings on $K3 \times T^2$, both of which have $N=2$ spacetime supersymmetry. Entries in the dictionary relating the dual…
