Mirror Symmetry and Landau Ginzburg Calabi-Yau Superpotentials in F-theory Compactifications

Abstract

We study Landau Ginzburg (LG) theories mirror to 2D N=2 gauged linear sigma models on toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. We derive and solve new constraint equations for Landau Ginzburg elliptic Calabi-Yau superpotentials, depending on the physical data of dual linear sigma models. In Calabi-Yau threefolds case, we consider two examples. First, we give the mirror symmetry of the canonical line bundle over the Hirzebruch surfaces ${\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{n}}$. Second, we find a special geometry with the affine so(8) Lie algebra toric data extending the geometry of elliptically fibered K3. This geometry leads to a pure N=1 six dimensional SO(8) gauge model from the F-theory compactification. For Calabi-Yau fourfolds, we give a new algebraic realization for ADE hypersurfaces.
