A well known consequence of the Wirtinger inequality is that in a Kaehler surface a holomorphic curve is an area minimizer in its homology class. In light of this result it is natural, given a Kaehler surface, to investigate the relation…
The aim of these notes is to acquaint the reader with important objects in complex algebraic geometry: K3 surfaces and their higher-dimensional analogs, hyperk\"ahler manifolds. These manifolds are interesting from several points of view:…
A twin Lagrangian fibration, originally introduced by Yau and the first author, is roughly a geometric structure consisting of two Lagrangian fibrations whose fibers intersect with each other cleanly. In this paper, we show the existence of…
The base surface $B$ of a Lagrangian fibration $X\twoheadrightarrow B$ of a projective, irreducible symplectic fourfold $X$ is shown to be isomorphic to ${\mathbb P}^2$.
We prove a version of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow mirror symmetry conjecture for non-compact Calabi-Yau surfaces arising from, on the one hand, pairs $(\check{Y},\check{D})$ of a del Pezzo surface $\check{Y}$ and $\check{D}$ a smooth…
Let X be a compact hyperk\"ahler manifold containing a complex torus L as a Lagrangian subvariety. Beauville posed the question whether X admits a Lagrangian fibration with fibre L. We show that this is indeed the case if X is not…
By the SYZ construction, a mirror pair $(X,\check{X})$ of a complex torus $X$ and a mirror partner $\check{X}$ of the complex torus $X$ is described as the special Lagrangian torus fibrations $X \rightarrow B$ and $\check{X} \rightarrow B$…
We prove that homological mirror symmetry for very affine hypersurfaces respects certain natural symplectic operations (as functors between partially wrapped Fukaya categories), verifying conjectures of Auroux. These conjectures concern…
This article initiates the study of isotrivial Lagrangian fibrations of compact hyper-K\"ahler manifolds. We present four foundational results that extend well-known facts about isotrivial elliptic fibrations of K3 surfaces. First, we prove…
We describe in purely combinatorial terms dual pairs of integral affine structures on spheres which come from the conjectural metric collapse of mirror families of Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces. The same structures arise on the base of a…
We study the geometric quantization on $K3$ surfaces from the viewpoint of the spectral convergence. We take a special Lagrangian fibrations on the $K3$ surfaces and a family of hyper-K\"ahler structures tending to large complex structure…
Even a cursory inspection of the Hodge plot associated with Calabi-Yau threefolds that are hypersurfaces in toric varieties reveals striking structures. These patterns correspond to webs of elliptic-K3 fibrations whose mirror images are…
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 present an effective construction of non-Kaehler supersymmetric mirror pairs in the sense of Lau,Tseng and Yau starting from left-invariant affine structures on Lie groups. Applying this construction we explicitly find SYZ mirror…
We introduce a general technique to construct Lagrangian torus fibrations in degenerations of K\"ahler manifolds. We show that such torus fibrations naturally occur at the boundary of the A'Campo space. This space extends a degeneration…
We show the existence of a complex K3 surface $X$ which is not a Kummer surface and has a one-parameter family of Levi-flat hypersurfaces in which all the leaves are dense. We construct such $X$ by patching two open complex surfaces…
In this note we provide examples of families of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds over Shimura varieties, whose mirror families contain subfamilies over Shimura varieties. Therefore these original families and subfamilies on the mirror side contain…
We study the moduli spaces of flat SL(r)- and PGL(r)-connections, or equivalently, Higgs bundles, on an algebraic curve. These spaces are noncompact Calabi-Yau orbifolds; we show that they can be regarded as mirror partners in two different…
Using the graphical method developed in hep-th/9908082, we obtain the full curve corresponding to the hyperk\"ahler quotient from the extended E_7 Dynkin diagram. As in the E_6 case discussed in the same paper above, the resulting curve is…
Let $M$ be a closed orientable Riemannian surface. Consider an SO(3)-connection $A$ and a Higgs field $\Phi:M\to so(3)$. The pair $(A,\Phi)$ naturally induces a cocycle over the geodesic flow of $M$. We classify (up to gauge…
