Mirror Symmetry and Algebraic Geometry (Paperback, New edition)

Mirror symmetry began when theoretical physicists made some astonishing predictions about rational curves on quintic hypersurfaces in four-dimensional projective space. Understanding the mathematics behind these predictions has been a substantial challenge. This work a comprehensive monographs on mirror symmetry, covering the original observations by the physicists through to progress made. Subjects discussed include: toric varieties Hodge theory Kahler geometry moduli of stable maps Calabi-Yau manifolds quantum cohomology Gromov-Witten invariants and the mirror theorem.
