The general quintic hypersurface in ${\mathbb P}^4$ is the most famous example of a Calabi--Yau threefold for which mirror symmetry has been investigated in detail. There is a description of the mirror as a hypersurface in a certain weighted projective space. In this note we present a model for the mirror which is again (the resolution of) a quintic hypersurface in ${\mathbb P}^4$. We also deal with the special members in the respective families. They lead to rigid Calabi--Yau threefolds with…

We use $L^2$-Higgs cohomology to determine the Hodge numbers of the parabolic cohomology $H^1(\bar S, j_*\V)$, where the local system $\V$ arises from the third primitive cohomology of family of

Modularity experiments on $S_4$-symmetric double octics

We will invest quite some computer power to find double octic threefolds that are connected to weight four modular forms.

Mirror symmetry and rational curves on quintic threefolds: a guide for mathematicians

We give a mathematical account of a recent string theory calcula- tion which predicts the number of rational curves on the generic quintic three- fold. Our account involves the interpretation of
