Gauss-Manin Lie algebra of mirror elliptic \(K3\) surfaces (Q2031142)

This paper is about mirror symmetry for elliptic \(K3\) surfaces, which are \(K3\) surfaces together with a map to the projective line such that the general fiber is an elliptic curve. The authors first describe a moduli space \(T\) of the mirror \(K3\) surfaces, from the data of the holomorphic Gauss-Manin connection of the middle dimensional cohomology of the mirrors. They show that away from a discriminant locus \(T\) is a locally ringed space with the local ring \(\mathcal{O}_T\), which admits an isomorphism to a graded ring of quasi-modular forms for a congruence subgroup of \(SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\). The authors furthermore construct the Gauss-Manin Lie algebra attached to \(T\) and prove that it is isomorphic to \(\mathrm{sl}_2(\mathbb{C}) \oplus \mathrm{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})\).
