Abstract: We consider the variant of Mirror Symmetry Conjecture for K3 surfaces which relates "geometry" of curves of a general member of a family of K3 with "algebraic functions" on the moduli of the mirror family. Lorentzian Kac--Moody algebras are involved in this construction. We give several examples when this conjecture is valid.

Review text

The authors give a new interpretation to their earlier result from the viewpoint of mirror symmetry for \(K3\) surfaces. They consider the variant of the mirror symmetry conjecture for \(K3\) surfaces which relates the geometry of curves on a general member of a family of \(K3\) surfaces with algebraic functions on the moduli of the mirror family. Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebras are involved. Several examples where the conjecture holds do exist.
