Mirror Symmetry<br />

phenomenon first arose in various forms in string <strong>the</strong>ory<br />

ma<strong>the</strong>matical predictions (Candelas-de la Ossa-Green-Parkes<br />

1991)<br />

ma<strong>the</strong>matically it relates <strong>the</strong> symplectic geometry <strong>of</strong> a<br />

Calabi-Yau manifold X d to <strong>the</strong> complex geometry <strong>of</strong> its mirror<br />

Calabi-Yau Y d<br />

first aspect is <strong>the</strong> topological mirror test h p,q (X ) = h d−p,q (Y )<br />

compact hyperkähler manifolds satisfy h p,q (X ) = h d−p,q (X )<br />

(Kontsevich 1994) suggests homological mirror symmetry<br />

D b (Fuk(X , ω)) ∼ = D b (Coh(Y , I ))<br />

(Strominger-Yau-Zaslow 1996) suggests a geometrical<br />

construction how to obtain Y from X<br />

many predictions <strong>of</strong> mirror symmetry have been confirmed -<br />
