A Generalized Construction of Calabi-Yau Models and Mirror Symmetry

We extend the construction of Calabi-Yau manifolds to hypersurfaces innon-Fano toric varieties, requiring the use of certain Laurent definingpolynomials, and explore the phases of the corresponding gauged linear sigmamodels. The associated non-reflexive and non-convex polytopes provide ageneralizati...

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