Torus fibrations of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties (Q1976044)

This paper is devoted to the study of Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjectural mirror symmetry for regular anticanonical hypersurfaces in toric varieties \(X_{\Delta}\) associated to convex non-singular reflexive polyhedra \(\Delta\). The main result is that a Calabi-Yau hypersurface in \(X_{\Delta}\) which is sufficiently far away from the walls of the secondary fan to \(\Delta\) and sufficiently close to the large complex structure, admits a fibration over a sphere whose generic fibres are tori. The fibres may not be special Lagrangian as required by Strominger-Yau-Zaslow, but they have some calibration properties. The method is a modification of the moment map technique formerly used by Gross-Wilson and Morrison for constructing torus fibrations in Batyrev's approach to mirror symmetry. The author deforms the original hypersurface and gives an explicit parametrization of the fibres that allow him to analyze the action of the monodromy for one-parameter families of hypersurfaces and to construct a dual fibration. This fibration could represent the mirror Calabi-Yau.
