We investigate a potential relationship between mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds and the mirror duality between quasi-Fano varieties and Landau-Ginzburg models. More precisely, we show that if a Calabi-Yau admits a so-called Tyurin degeneration to a union of two Fano varieties, then one should be able to construct a mirror to that Calabi-Yau by gluing together the Landau-Ginzburg models of those two Fano varieties. We provide evidence for this correspondence in a number of different settings, including Batyrev-Borisov mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces and Calabi-Yau threefolds, Dolgachev-Nikulin mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces, and an explicit family of threefolds that are not realized as complete intersections in toric varieties.

  1. Fano and Reflexive Polytopes from Feynman Integrals

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quasi-finite Feynman integrals produce sparse Fano and reflexive polytopes that encode degenerate Calabi-Yau varieties and link to del Pezzo surfaces, K3 surfaces, and Calabi-Yau threefolds.

  2. Chern Characteristics and Todd-Hirzebruch Identities for Transpolar Pairs of Toric Spaces

    hep-th 2024-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Transpolar pairs involving VEX multitopes yield smooth toric spaces whose Chern classes satisfy Todd-Hirzebruch identities and belong to deformation families of generalized complete intersections.
