The Strominger–Yau–Zaslow conjecture for mirror Calabi–Yau manifolds

Let XX and YY be “mirror” Calabi-Yau manifolds. There should exist a base manifold BB and surjective continuous maps

π:XB,f:YB,\pi:X\to B,\qquad f:Y\to B,

with fibers Lq=π1(q)L_q=\pi^{-1}(q) and Fq=f1(q)F_q=f^{-1}(q), and a closed set ΔB\Delta\subset B such that BΔB\setminus\Delta is dense. Strominger–Yau–Zaslow conjecture. Under some additional conditions, for each bBΔb\in B\setminus\Delta, the fibers LqL_q and FqF_q are nonsingular special Lagrangian tori in XX and YY that are, in some sense, dual to one another, while for each bΔb\in\Delta they are singular Lagrangian submanifolds. This is a mathematical formulation of mirror symmetry through dual special Lagrangian torus fibrations; the statement leaves the additional conditions and the precise meaning of duality to be established in each setting.
