In algebraic geometry and theoretical physics, mirror symmetry is a relationship between geometric objects called Calabi–Yau manifolds. The term refers to a situation where two Calabi–Yau manifolds lo

Mirror symmetry (string theory)
…Major approaches to mirror symmetry include the homological mirror symmetry program of Maxim Kontsevich, and the SYZ conjecture of Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau, and Eric Zaslow and its algebraic analog — the Gross-Siebert program of Mark Gross and Bernd Siebert. In physics, string theory is a theoretical…
