Birationality and Landau-Ginzburg models. (English) Zbl 1428.14074

Summary: We introduce a new technique for approaching birationality questions that arise in the mirror symmetry of complete intersections in toric varieties. As an application we answer affirmatively and conclusively the question of V. Batyrev and B. Nill [Contemp. Math. 452, 35–66 (2008; Zbl 1161.14037)]. about the birationality of Calabi-Yau families associated to multiple mirror nef-partitions. This completes the progress in this direction made by Z. Li’s breakthrough [Adv. Math. 299, 71–107 (2016; Zbl 1360.14040)]. In the process, we obtain results in the theory of L. Borisov’s nef-partitions [“Towards the mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Gorenstein toric Fano varieties”, Preprint, arXiv:alg-geom/9310001] and provide new insight into the geometric content of the multiple mirror phenomenon.
