On Calabi-Yau fractional complete intersections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, we study mirror symmetry for pairs of singular Calabi--Yau manifolds which are double covers of toric manifolds. Their period integrals can be seen as certain `fractional' analogues of those of ordinary complete intersections. This new structure can then be used to solve their Riemann--Hilbert problems. The latter can then be used to answer definitively questions about mirror symmetry for this class of Calabi--Yau manifolds.


Mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds is a fruitful and well-established field at the intersection of geometry and modern physics. There are many examples now of smooth mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this very nice paper, the authors -- including the founding father of the field -- study mirror symmetry for pairs of singular Calabi-Yau varieties which are double covers of toric manifolds. Their period integrals can be seen as certain `fractional' analogues of those of ordinary complete intersections, hence the title. Such a structure was then used to solve the Riemann-Hilbert problems associated to the varieties.
