Abstract: In this note we provide examples of families of Calabi-Yau 3-manifolds over Shimura varieties, whose mirror families contain subfamilies over Shimura varieties. Therefore these original families and subfamilies on the mirror side contain dense sets of complex multiplication fibers. In view of the work of S. Gukov and C. Vafa this is of special interest in theoretical physics.

Review text

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be fibers of two families of Calabi-Yau 3-folds which are mirror of each other. By a work of Gukov and Vafa \(X\) and \(Y\) yield a rational conformal field theory if and only if both fibers have complex multiplication (CM). A family of Calabi-Yau manifolds over a Shimura variety has a dense set of CM fibers, if the variations of Hodge structures is related to the Shimura datum of the base space in a natural way as described in a previous paper of the author. In the paper Rohde gives examples of families of Calabi-Yau 3-folds over Shimura varieties, whose mirror families contain subfamilies over Shimura varieties. He obtains dense sets of CM fibers by using the fact that the base space is a Shimura variety.
