Abstract: C.T.C. Wall and the first author discovered an extension of Arnold's strange duality embracing on one hand series of bimodal hypersurface singularities and on the other, isolated complete intersection singularities. In this paper, we derive this duality from the mirror symmetry and the Berglund-H"ubsch transposition of invertible polynomials.

Review text

In [Russ. Math. Surv. 30, No. 5, 1--75 (1975; Zbl 0343.58001)], \textit{V. I. Arnol'd} discovered a strange duality between the 14 exceptional unimodal singularities. Somewhat later an extension of Arnold's duality was described for bimodal hypersurface singularities and isolated complete intersections of dimension two in \(\mathbb C^4\) (see [\textit{W. Ebeling} and \textit{C. T. C. Wall}, Compos. Math. 56, 3--77 (1985; Zbl 0586.14033)]). The paper under review aims to derive this duality using the mirror symmetry and the operation of transposition of invertible polynomials defined in [\textit{P. Berglund} and \textit{T. Hübsch}, Nucl. Phys., B 393, No. 1--2, 377--391 (1993; Zbl 1245.14039)]. Among other things, the authors explain some features of their construction in terms of Dolgachev and Gabrielov numbers, Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams for distinguished bases of vanishing cycles, Milnor lattices, and so on.
