Am I missing something about this notion of Mirror Symmetry for abelian varieties?

This is a continuation of my recent question: Mirror symmetry for polarized abelian surfaces and Shioda-Inose K3s. In the comments of the question, I was directed to the paper http://arxiv.org/abs/...

Is the mirror of a hyperkaehler manifold always a hyperkaehler manifold?

Is the mirror of a hyperkaehler manifold always a hyperkaehler manifold? What I know so far is as follows: In this paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9512195.pdf) by Verbitsky, it is claimed that ...

Mirror symmetry for polarized abelian surfaces and Shioda-Inose K3s

It is well known (cf. Dolgachev) that there is a beautiful notion of mirror symmetry for lattice-polarized K3 surfaces. That is, if we are given a rank $r$ lattice $M$ of signature $(1, r - 1)$ and a ...

Toric degeneration of Kummer Surface

I am wondering if there are any explicit examples of a toric degeneration of a Kummer surface (e.g. as a family of projective varieties say), and what the central fibre can look like? (I am working ...

Is there a hyperkaehler manifold whose mirror is the total space of a tangent/cotangent bundle?

I am looking for an example of a hyperkaehler manifold $Y$ whose mirror is the total space of a tangent bundle $TX$ or a cotangent bundle $T^*X$, where $X$ can be any Riemannian manifold. Is such a ...

Is the mirror of a noncompact hyperkaehler manifold also hyperkaehler?

This is essentially a follow-up question from 'Is the mirror of a hyperkaehler manifold always a hyperkaehler manifold?'. Verbitsky's theorem in (https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9512195.pdf) says that ...

Stability notion to smoothing varieties under a flat deformation with a smooth total space

Is there any stability notion that led to an algebraic variety be smoothable in general for Fano varieties or for Calabi-Yau varieties? Note that Friedman found a nesessary condition that $X$ to be ...
