We survey some of the basic mathematical ideas and techniques which are used in string phenomenology, such as constructions of Calabi–Yau manifolds, singularities and orbifolds, toric geometry, variation of complex structure, and mirror symmetry.

Calabi Yau Manifolds

Because of the existence of rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds, mirror symmetry cannot be understood as an operation on the space of manifolds with vanishing first Chern class. In this article I continue to investigate a particular type of Kähler manifolds with positive first Chern class which generalize Calabi-Yau manifolds in a natural way and which provide a framework for mirrors of rigid string vacua. This class comprises Fano manifolds of a special type which encode crucial information about ground states of the superstring. It is shown in particular that the massless spectra of (2, 2)-supersymmetric vacua of central charge ĉ=D crit can be derived from special Fano varieties of complex dimension D crit +2(Q−1), Q>1, and that in certain circumstances it is even possible to embed Calabi-Yau manifolds into such higher dimensional spaces. The constructions described here lead to new insight into the relation between exactly solvable models and their mean field theories on the one hand and their corresponding Calabi-Yau manifolds on the other. Furthermore it is shown that Witten’s formulation of the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau relation can be applied to the present framework as well.

We extend the construction of Calabi-Yau manifolds to hypersurfaces in non-Fano toric varieties, requiring the use of certain Laurent defining polynomials, and explore the phases of the corresponding gauged linear sigma models. The associated non-reflexive and non-convex polytopes provide a generalization of Batyrev’s original work, allowing us to construct novel pairs of mirror models. We showcase our proposal for this generalization by examining Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in Hirzebruch n-folds, focusing on n=3,4 sequences, and outline the more general class of so-defined geometries.
