Mirror fibrations and root stacks of weighted projective spaces (Q2518876): Difference between revisions

Originally, mirror symmetry was formulated for pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds, but later was extended to Fano manifolds. For example, the mirror partner of projective \(n\)-space \(\mathbb P^n\) is the function \(f=x_0+\dots+x_n\) on the torus given by \(x_0\cdot\dots\cdot x_n=1\) in affine \((n+1)\)-space. In this situation, mirror symmetry manifests itself through an isomorphism between the Frobenius manifolds obtained by unfolding \(f\) and the quantum cohomology of \(\mathbb P^n\). As a consequence, one obtains an isomorphism between the cohomology ring of \(\mathbb P^n\) and the Jacobian algebra of \(f\) at the fibre over \(0\) of \(\pi=x_0\cdot\dots\cdot x_n\). In this paper, the authors consider the situation in which \(\mathbb P^n\) is replaced by a certain smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack \({\mathcal X}(p,w)\) whose coarse moduli space is the weighted projective space \(\mathbb P(p)\), where \(p,w\in\mathbb Z^{n+1}\) are certain weights. Their main result is the construction of a flat fibration \({\mathcal Y}(p)\rightarrow{\mathcal C}(p)\) over a rational curve together with a function \(f_w\) on \({\mathcal Y}(p)\), such that the Jacobian algebra of \(f_w\) is isomorphic to the orbifold Chow ring of \({\mathcal X}(p,w)\). This generalises results of \textit{E.\ Mann} [J.\ Algebr.\ Geom.\ 17, No.\ 1, 137--166 (2008; Zbl 1146.14029)] and \textit{T.\ Coates, A.\ Corti, Y.-P.\ Lee} and \textit{H.-H.\ Tseng} [Acta Math.\ 202, No.\ 2, 139--193 (2009; Zbl 1213.53106)] which show that the mirror of the weighted projective space \(\mathbb P(p)\) is the function \(f=x_0+\dots+x_n\) on the torus given by \(x_0^{p_0}\cdot\dots\cdot x_n^{p_n}=1\).
