Polytopes and G2 Mirror Symmetry

Polytopes and G2 Mirror Symmetry

Millions of novel examples of compact G2 holonomy manifolds have been given in recent years as twisted connected sums of asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau threefolds. For compactifications of type II string theories on such G2 manifolds, we give a construction of their mirrors. Similar to Batyrev's construction of Calabi-Yau mirrors, pairs of polytopes play a crucial role.
