Final Report Abstract

The project establishes a subtle connection between mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau threefolds and that of curves of higher genus. The linking structure is what we call a perverse curve. We show how one obtains such from Calabi-Yau threefolds in the Batyrev mirror construction by constructing a perverse sheaf supported on the log singular locus of the central fibre of the degeneration to infinity. We prove that the Hodge diamonds of a pair of perverse curves obtained from mirror dual families are themselves mirror dual in the sense of that they have reflected Hodge diamonds.
