DHT conjecture for K3 surfaces

Let XΔ\mathcal{X}\to\Delta be an LL-polarised Tyurin degeneration of K3 surfaces with general fibre XX. Let II denote the relevant lattice, let eIe\in I be primitive and mm-admissible in LL^{\perp}, and define the mirror lattice

Lˇ=eL/Ze.\check{L}=e^{\perp}_{L^{\perp}}/\mathbb{Z}e.

Let YY be a Lˇ\check{L}-quasi-polarised K3 surface. An allowable loop is a loop γP1\gamma\subset\mathbb{P}^1 for which the quasi-polarisation is compatible with the elliptic fibration and the loop.

DHT conjecture. The surface YY admits an elliptic fibration π ⁣:YP1\pi\colon Y\to\mathbb{P}^1 and an allowable loop γP1\gamma\subset\mathbb{P}^1 compatible with the Lˇ\check{L}-quasi-polarisation, such that XΔ\mathcal{X}\to\Delta and π ⁣:YP1\pi\colon Y\to\mathbb{P}^1 form a mirror pair. Conversely, if an LL'-quasi-polarised K3 surface YY admits an elliptic fibration and an allowable compatible loop, if τ\tau is mm-admissible in (L)(L')^{\perp}, and if

Lˇ=τ(L)/Zτ,\check{L}'=\tau^{\perp}_{(L')^{\perp}}/\mathbb{Z}\tau,

then there exists an Lˇ\check{L}'-polarised Tyurin degeneration XΔ\mathcal{X}\to\Delta forming a mirror pair with π ⁣:YP1\pi\colon Y\to\mathbb{P}^1.

This is a precise K3-surface version of the DHT philosophy relating Tyurin degenerations to codimension-one fibrations on Calabi–Yau manifolds. The source presents it as a conjecture; no resolution evidence is supplied here.
