Mirror symmetry and automorphisms

Abstract

We show that there is an extra dimension to the mirror duality discovered in the early nineties by Greene-Plesser and Berglund-H\"ubsch. Their duality matches cohomology classes of two Calabi--Yau orbifolds. When both orbifolds are equipped with an automorphism ss of the same order, our mirror duality involves the weight of the action of ss^* on cohomology. In particular, it matches the respective ss-fixed loci, which are not Calabi-Yau in general. When applied to K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphism ss of odd prime order, this provides a proof that Berglund-H\"ubsch mirror symmetry implies K3 lattice mirror symmetry replacing earlier case-by-case treatments.
