Family Floer SYZ singularities for the conifold transition
Hang Yuan
TL;DR
This work constructs a fully explicit non-archimedean SYZ bridge for the conifold, proving that the B-side (a crepant resolution) admits a tropically continuous fibration whose smooth part mirrors the A-side Lagrangian fibration on the smoothing, with singular fibers matching codimension-2 mirror data. It provides an explicit mirror Y over the Novikov field Λ and an algorithmic family Floer mirror X0^∨, glued from three affinoid charts with explicit wall-crossing, superpotential, and transition maps, and identifies an analytic embedding g that realigns the A- and B-side fibrations. The main result confirms, in the non-archimedean setting, the Chan–Pomerleano–Ueda speculation about the link between conifold smoothing and crepant resolution via SYZ, and it clarifies how codimension-2 missing points in mirror cluster varieties arise as dual SYZ singular fibers. The paper also highlights a precise Berkovich-geometric perspective via tropically continuous maps, and it raises broader questions about extending these constructions to cluster varieties and other higher-dimensional examples. Overall, the work delivers a concrete, highly explicit instance of SYZ duality with singular fibers in dimension three, offering new tools and viewpoints for non-archimedean mirror symmetry and cluster-structure phenomena.
Abstract
We show a mathematically precise version of the SYZ conjecture, proposed in the family Floer context, for the conifold with a conjectural mirror relation between smoothing and crepant resolution. The singular T-duality fibers are explicitly written and exactly correspond to the codimension-2 `missing points' in the mirror cluster variety, which confirms the speculation of Chan, Pomerleano, and Ueda but only in the non-archimedean setting. Concerning purely the area of Berkovich geometry and forgetting all the mirror symmetry background, our B-side analytic fibration is also a new explicit example of affinoid torus fibration with singular extension.
