Abstract: We investigate both geometric and conformal field theoretic aspects of mirror symmetry on N=(4,4) superconformal field theories with central charge c=6. Our approach enables us to determine the action of mirror symmetry on (non-stable) singular fibers in elliptic fibrations of Z_N orbifold limits of K3. The resulting map gives an automorphism of order 4,8, or 12, respectively, on the smooth universal cover of the moduli space. We explicitly derive the geometric counterparts of the twist fields in our orbifold conformal field theories. The classical McKay correspondence allows for a natural interpretation of our results.

Review text

Mirroy symmetry is considered for \(N=(4,4)\) superconformal field theories with central charge \(c=6\). A version of mirror symmetry on elliptically fibered \(K3\) surfaces is analyzed which is induced by fiberwise \(T\)-duality on nonsingular fibers. The mirror map is realized as automorphism on the lattice of integral cohomology on the underlying complex surface (torus or \(K3\)). This approach enables one to determine the action of mirror symmetry on (non-stable) singular fibers in elliptic fibrations of \(\mathbb Z_N\) orbifold limits of \(K3\). The order of mirror symmetry on the torus is \(4\), and it can take values \(4,8,\) or \(12\) on the orbifold limits of \(K3\). Since the mirror map is derived in both the geometric and conformal field theoretic description independently, the exact geometric counterparts of the twist fields are decuced in the orbifold conformal field theories.
