The geometric mirror pair conjecture

Let (X,Y)(X,Y) be a geometric mirror pair, meaning that there is a parameter space UU and, for each tUt\in U, a correspondence ZtX×YZ_t\subset X\times Y, sections of the projections, Ricci-flat metrics on XX and YY whose generic fibers are special Lagrangian nn-tori, and canonically dual generic fibers. Let πX:UMRic(X)\pi_X:U\to{\cal M}_{Ric}(X) and πY:UMRic(Y)\pi_Y:U\to{\cal M}_{Ric}(Y) be the natural maps to the moduli spaces of Ricci-flat metrics, and let the notation U~X\widetilde U_X, U~Y\widetilde U_Y, MCFTsc{\cal M}^{sc}_{CFT}, MA(σ){\cal M}_A(\sigma) and Mcx\overline{{\cal M}}_{cx} have the meanings specified in the source. Geometric mirror pair conjecture. The parameter space and data can be chosen so that (X,Y)(X,Y) passes the topological mirror test; both πX\pi_X and πY\pi_Y lift to generically finite maps to the indicated semiclassical conformal-field-theory moduli spaces; and, when h2,0(X)=h2,0(Y)=0h^{2,0}(X)=h^{2,0}(Y)=0, the indicated partial compactifications and boundary points exist so that (π~X)(π~Y)(\widetilde\pi_X)_*(\widetilde\pi_Y)^* extends to μ1×μ\mu^{-1}\times\mu', consisting of mirror maps in both directions. In particular, (X,Y)(X,Y) passes the Hodge-theoretic mirror test. This conjecture links the geometric special-Lagrangian formulation of mirror symmetry with the topological and Hodge-theoretic tests, but the source supplies no resolution.
