Mirror symmetry II - B Greene and S-T Yau

Mirror Symmetry I - Shing-Tung Yau

Mirror Symmetry III - Duong H Phong, Luc Vinet and Shing-Tung Yau

This book presents contributions of participants of a workshop held at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM), University of Montréal. It can be viewed as a sequel to Mirror Symmetry I (1998), Mirror Symmetry II (1996), and Mirror Symmetry III (1999), copublished by the AMS and International Press.

The volume presents a broad survey of many of the noteworthy developments that have taken place in string theory, geometry, and duality since the mid 1990s. Some of the topics emphasized include the following: Integrable models and supersymmetric gauge theories; theory of M- and D-branes and noncommutative geometry; duality between strings and gauge theories; and elliptic genera and automorphic forms. Several introductory articles present an overview of the geometric and physical aspects of mirror symmetry and of corresponding developments in symplectic geometry. The book provides an efficient way for a very broad audience of mathematicians and physicists to explore the frontiers of research into this rapidly expanding area.

Titles in this series are co-published with International Press, Cambridge, MA.

Graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematical areas such as geometry and modular forms.
