The paper by Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau, and Eric Zaslow explores the connection between mirror symmetry and T-duality in string theory. They argue that every Calabi-Yau manifold \(X\) with a mirror \(Y\) admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles, and the moduli space of these cycles, along with their flat connections, is precisely the space \(Y\). The mirror transformation is equivalent to T-duality on these 3-cycles. The authors provide a general framework for addressing the geometry of the moduli space and discuss several examples to support their arguments. They also show that the D-brane moduli space has a Kähler structure and is endowed with a holomorphic \(b_1\) form, which aligns with conclusions derived from mirror symmetry. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings for constructing M-theory duals for a large class of \(N = 1\) heterotic string compactifications.The paper by Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau, and Eric Zaslow explores the connection between mirror symmetry and T-duality in string theory.
