The Arithmetic Mirror Symmetry and¶Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Abstract
We extend our variant of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces [GN3] and clarify its relation with mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. We introduce two classes (for the models A and B) of Calabi-Yau manifolds fibrated by K3 surfaces with some special Picard lattices. These two classes are related with automorphic forms on IV type domains which we studied in our papers [GN1]-[GN6]. Conjecturally these automorphic forms take part in the quantum intersection pairing for model A, Yukawa coupling for model B and mirror symmetry between these two classes of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Recently there were several papers by physicists where it was shown on some examples. We propose a problem of classification of introduced Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our papers [GN1]-[GN6] and [N3]-[N14] give hope that this is possible. They describe possible Picard or transcendental lattices of general K3 fibers of the Calabi-Yau manifolds.
