| Mar 11, 2011 at 13:31 | comment | added | Diego Matessi | I think that research in mirror symmetry goes in the opposite direction to what happened with Poincare'-Birkhoff discovery. In that case a simple statement lead to a beautiful rich theory. In mirror symmetry a very complicated statement (such as the counting formula for curves on the quintic), which no-one understood at first, lead to a theory which is slowly becoming clearer and enriched with simpler examples. | |
| Mar 11, 2011 at 7:22 | comment | added | Gil Kalai | I heard about this typical-shape-of-partition approach to mirror symmetry in a lecture by Okounkov. I dont know the precise papers (some probably with Pandharipande,and Nekrasov). Maybe one can start by reading Okounkov's paper the use of random partitions arxiv.org/PS_cache/math-ph/pdf/0309/0309015v1.pdf and then maybe look at Okounkov-Reshetikhin-Wafa arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/0309/0309208v2.pdf But explicit mention of Mirror symmetry there is sparse. | |

| Mar 10, 2011 at 22:31 | comment | added | Gil Kalai | Another interesting explanation of Mirror symmetry in certain cases related to combinatorics is in terms of typical shapes for certain classes of partitions. You start with a class of partitions related to some variety, consider the typical shape and this gives you the dual variety. | |
