Nam-Hoon Lee, Mirror Pairs of Calabi-Yau Threefolds from Mirror Pairs of Quasi-Fano Threefolds
B266 IBS, Korea, Republic ofSpeaker Nam-Hoon Lee Hongik Univ. We present a new construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds by smoothing normal crossing varieties, consisting of two quasi-Fano manifolds. We introduce a notion of mirror pairs of quasi-Fano manifolds with anticanonical Calabi-Yau fibrations using conjectures about Landau-Ginzburg models. Utilizing this notion, we give pairs of normal …
