Mirror Symmetry and Algebraic Geometry

Mirror Symmetry and Algebraic Geometry

David A. Cox, Sheldon Katz

470 pages, parution le 01/06/2001

Résumé

Mirror symmetry began when theoretical physicists made some astonishing predictions about rational curves on quintic hypersurfaces in four-dimensional projective space. Understanding the mathematics behind these predictions has been a substantial challenge. This book is the first completely comprehensive monograph on mirror symmetry, covering the original observations by the physicists through the most recent progress made to date. Subjects discussed include toric varieties, Hodge theory, Kähler geometry, moduli of stable maps, Calabi-Yau manifolds, quantum cohomology, Gromov-Witten invariants, and the mirror theorem. Features:
  • Numerous examples worked out in detail
  • An appendix on mathematical physics
  • An exposition of the algebraic theory of Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum cohomology
  • A proof of the mirror theorem for the quintic threefold
