TL;DR
This work constructs a holomorphic mirror-map Θ from a neighborhood of the complexified Kähler cone to a moduli space of polarized manifolds carrying canonical metrics, grounded in cscK theory and K-stability. For smooth del Pezzo surfaces with Gorenstein toric degenerations, the authors prove a complete realization of Θ and show the domain inherits a Weil–Petersson form, tying moduli geometry to the framed LG mirrors. The approach is demonstrated through explicit, case-by-case LG mirror constructions for a wide range of Fano surfaces and threefolds, using dual polytopes, base-locus analyses, Kempf–Ness stability, and Arezzo–Pacard gluing to produce families of cscK polarised manifolds; in many instances the resulting moduli are Hausdorff and Zariski separated, with discrete automorphism groups. The work also discusses HMS-type perspectives, deformation theory in the cscK setting, and cases where adiabatic or $K$-instability phenomena arise, highlighting both the reach and the limitations of current techniques in linking complex and Kähler moduli across mirror symmetry.
Abstract
It is known that a given smooth del Pezzo surface or Fano threefold $X$ admits a choice of log Calabi-Yau compactified mirror toric Landau-Ginzburg model (with respect to certain fixed Kähler classes and Gorenstein toric degenerations). Here we consider the problem of constructing a corresponding map $Θ$ from a domain in the complexified Kähler cone of $X$ to a well-defined, separated moduli space $\mathfrak{M}$ of polarised manifolds endowed with a canonical metric. We prove a complete result for del Pezzos and a partial result for some special Fano threefolds. The construction uses some fundamental results in the theory of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics. As a consequence $\mathfrak{M}$ parametrises $K$-stable manifolds and the domain of $Θ$ is endowed with the pullback of a Weil-Petersson form.
