Families of Calabi-Yau manifolds and mirror symmetry

We survey mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds from the perspective of families of Calabi-Yau manifolds and their period integrals. Special emphasis is laid on distinguished properties of the hypergeometric series of Gel'fand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky that appear in mirror symmetry. After defining mirror symmetry in terms of families of Calabi-Yau manifolds, we summarize a general construction of moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces (complete intersections) in toric varieties. We review the central charge formula, and assuming it, we show mirror symmetry for the pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds associated with reflexive polytopes. By describing the moduli spaces globally, we present interesting examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds where birational geometry and geometry of Fourier-Mukai partners of a Calabi-Yau manifold arise from the study of mirror symmetry.

BCOV cusp forms of lattice polarized K3 surfaces

We introduce the BCOV formula for the lattice polarized K3 surfaces. We find that it yields cusp forms expressed by certain eta products for many families of rank 19 lattice polarized K3 surfaces over $\mathbb{P}^{1}$. Moreover, for Clingher-Doran's family of $U\oplus E_{8}(-1)\oplus E_{7}(-1)$-polarized K3 surfaces, we obtain the Igusa cusp forms $χ_{10}$ and $χ_{12}$ from the formula. Inspired by the arithmetic properties of mirror maps studied by Lian-Yau, we also derive the K3 differential operators for all the genus zero groups of type $Γ_{0}(n)_{+}$.

Mirror Symmetry of Calabi-Yau Manifolds Fibered by (1,8)-Polarized Abelian Surfaces

We study mirror symmetry of a family of Calabi-Yau manifolds fibered by (1,8)-polarized abelian surfaces with Euler characteristic zero. By describing the parameter space globally, we find all expected boundary points (LCSLs), including those correspond to Fourier-Mukai partners. Applying mirror symmetry at each boundary point, we calculate Gromov-Witten invariants ($g\leq2$) and observe nice (quasi-)modular properties in their potential functions. We also describe degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds over each boundary point.

Mirror symmetry for double cover Calabi--Yau varieties

The presented paper is a continuation of the series of papers arXiv:1810.00606 and arXiv:1903.09373. In this paper, utilizing Batyrev and Borisov's duality construction on nef-partitions, we generalize the recipe in arXiv:1810.00606 and arXiv:1903.09373 to construct a pair of singular double cover Calabi--Yau varieties $(Y,Y^{\vee})$ over toric manifolds and compute their topological Euler characteristics and Hodge numbers. In the $3$-dimensional cases, we show that $(Y,Y^{\vee})$ forms a topological mirror pair, i.e., $h^{p,q}(Y)=h^{3-p,q}(Y^{\vee})$ for all $p,q$.

K3 surfaces from configurations of six lines in $\mathbb{P}^2$ and mirror symmetry I

From the viewpoint of mirror symmetry, we revisit the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ for a family of K3 surfaces. We construct a good resolution of the Baily-Borel-Satake compactification of its parameter space, which admits special boundary points (LCSLs) given by normal crossing divisors. We find local isomorphisms between the $E(3,6)$ systems and the associated GKZ systems defined locally on the parameter space and cover the entire parameter space. Parallel structures are conjectured in general for hypergeometric system $E(n,m)$ on Grassmannians. Local solutions and mirror symmetry will be described in a companion paper \cite{HLTYpartII}, where we introduce a K3 analogue of the elliptic lambda function in terms of genus two theta functions.

K3 surfaces from configurations of six lines in $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ and mirror symmetry II --- $λ_{K3}$-functions ---

We continue our study on the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ which describes period integrals of the double cover family of K3 surfaces. Near certain special boundary points in the moduli space of the K3 surfaces, we construct the local solutions and determine the so-called mirror maps expressing them in terms of genus two theta functions. These mirror maps are the K3 analogues of the elliptic $λ$-function. We find that there are two non-isomorphic definitions of the lambda functions corresponding to a flip in the moduli space. We also discuss mirror symmetry for the double cover K3 surfaces and their higher dimensional generalizations. A follow up paper will describe more details of the latter.

Movable vs Monodromy Nilpotent Cones of Calabi-Yau Manifolds

We study mirror symmetry of complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds which have birational automorphisms of infinite order. We observe that movable cones in birational geometry are transformed, under mirror symmetry, to the monodromy nilpotent cones which are naturally glued together.

Mirror Symmetry and Projective Geometry of Fourier-Mukai Partners

This is a survey article on mirror symmetry and Fourier-Mukai partners of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard number one based on recent works by the authors [HoTa1,2,3,4]. For completeness, mirror symmetry and Fourier-Mukai partners of K3 surfaces are also discussed.

Geometry of symmetric determinantal loci

We study algebro-geometric properties of determinantal loci of (n+1)th symmetric matrices and also their double covers for even ranks. Their singularities, Fano indices and birational geometries are studied in general. The double covers of symmetric determinantal loci of rank four are studied with special interest by noting their relation to the Hilbert schemes of conics on Grassmannians.

Towards Homological Projective duality for S^2 P^3 and S^2 P^4

We provide homological foundations to establish conjectural homological projective dualities between 1) S^2 P^3 and the double cover of the projective 9-space branched along the symmetric determinantal quartic, and 2) S^2 P^4 and the double cover of the symmetric determinantal quintic in the projective 14-space branched along the symmetric determinantal locus of rank at most 3.

Derived Categories of Artin-Mumford double solids

We consider the derived category of an Artin-Mumford quartic double solid blown-up at ten ordinary double points. We show that it has a semi-orthogonal decomposition containing the derived category of the Enriques surface of a Reye congruence. This answers affirmatively a conjecture by Ingalls and Kuznetsov.

Duality between S^2 P^4 and the Double Quintic Symmetroid

We obtain homological properties of the second symmetric product of P^4 and the double cover of the symmetric determinantal quintic hypersurface in P^{14} (the double quintic symmetroids), which indicate the homological projective duality between (suitable noncommutative resolutions of) them. Among other things, we construct their good desingularizations and also (dual) Lefschetz collections in the derived categories of the desingularizations. These are expected to give (dual) Lefschetz decompositions of suitable noncommutative resolutions. The desingularization of the double quintic symmetroids also contains its interesting birational geometries.

Double quintic symmetroids, Reye congruences, and their derived equivalence

We consider Calabi-Yau threefolds Y defined as smooth linear sections of the double cover of the quintic symmetric determinantal hypersurface in P^{14}. In our previous works, we have shown that these Calabi-Yau threefolds Y are naturally paired with Reye congruence Calabi-Yau threefolds X, and X and Y have several interesting properties from the view point of mirror symmetry and projective geometry. In this paper, we prove the derived equivalence between Y and X.

BCOV ring and holomorphic anomaly equation

We study certain differential rings over the moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the case of an elliptic curve, we observe a close relation to the differential ring of quasi-modular forms due to Kaneko and Zagier.

Determinantal Quintics and Mirror Symmetry of Reye Congruences

We study a certain family of determinantal quintic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^{4}$ whose singularities are similar to the well-studied Barth-Nieto quintic. Smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds with Hodge numbers $(h^{1,1},h^{2,1})=(52,2)$ are obtained by taking crepant resolutions of the singularities. It turns out that these smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds are in a two dimensional mirror family to the complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds in $\mathbb{P}^{4}\times\mathbb{P}^{4}$ which have appeared in our previous study of Reye congruences in dimension three. We compactify the two dimensional family over $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ and reproduce the mirror family to the Reye congruences. We also determine the monodromy of the family over $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ completely. Our calculation shows an example of the orbifold mirror construction with a trivial orbifold group.

Mirror symmetry and projective geometry of Reye congruences I

Studying the mirror symmetry of a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ of the Reye congruence in $\mP^4$, we conjecture that $X$ has a non-trivial Fourier-Mukai partner $Y$. We construct $Y$ as the double cover of a determinantal quintic in $\mP^4$ branched over a curve. We also calculate BPS numbers of both $X$ and $Y$ (and also a related Calabi-Yau complete intersection $\tilde X_0$) using mirror symmetry.

On Stokes Matrices of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces

We consider Laplace transforms of the Picard-Fuchs differential equations of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and calculate their Stokes matrices. We also introduce two different types of Laplace transforms of Gel'fand-Kapranov-Zelevinski hypergeometric systems.
