G₂ mirrors from Calabi-Yau mirrors

Braun, Andreas P.; Dadhley, Richie

Abstract

We study the worldsheet CFTs of type II strings on compact G2 orbifolds obtained as quotients of a product of a Calabi-Yau threefold and a circle. For such models, we argue that the Calabi-Yau mirror map implies a mirror map for the associated G2 varieties by examining how anti-holomorphic involutions behave under Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry. The mirror geometries identified by the worldsheet CFT are consistent with earlier proposals for twisted connected sum G2 manifolds.
