Abstract

Inspired by the works of Hitchin and Huybrechts, we introduce a formulation of mirror symmetry for generalized K3 surfaces by Mukai lattice polarizations. This formulation is compatible with the SCFT on K3 surfaces discussed by Aspinwall-Morrison, and fixes the problems in the conventional mirror symmetry for lattice polarized K3 surfaces. In particular, we settle the long-standing problem of mirror symmetry for singular K3 surfaces (also known as rigid K3 surfaces).

      Generalized Ricci surfaces | BlMSA Differential Geometry Seminar

      AbstractWe consider smooth Riemannian surfaces whose curvature K satisfies the eguationAlogK-c=aK+b away from points where K=c for some (a,b, c) eIR3, which we callgeneralized Ricci surfaces. This equation generalize a result of Ricci, which provides a necessaryand sufficient condition for the surface to be (locally) minimally and isometrically immersed inEuclidean 3-space. in the first part of...

      Mirror symmetry and partial compactifications of k3 moduli | BIMSA AG Seminar

      AbstractI will talk about work with Hacking, Keel and Siebert on using miror constructions to providepartial compactifications of the moduli of K3 surfaces. Starting with a one-parameter maximallyunipotent degeneration of Picard rank 19 K3 surfaces, we construct, using methods of myself and Siebert, a mirror family which is defined in a formal neiahbourhood of a union of strata of a toricvariet...
