(1.2) In recent years, much progress has been made, in particular by Kontsevich–Soibelman [KS00, KS06] and Gross–Siebert [GS11a]. Both of these programs are based on a conjectural geometric explanation of mirror symmetry due to Strominger, Yau and Zaslow, known as the SYZ conjecture [SYZ96]. Since its appearance, the conjecture has been amended in certain ways; a common way to formulate it today is the following. Let be a projective family of -dimensional complex Calabi-Yau varieties over a punctured disk , and assume that this family is maximally degenerate. The latter condition means that the monodromy transformation on the degree cohomology of the general fiber of has a Jordan block of rank . Then, up to rescaling the metrics, the family is conjectured to converge in the Gromov-Hausdorff limit to an -dimensional topological manifold . Moreover, a general fiber should admit a fibration , called an SYZ fibration, whose fibers are special Lagrangian tori in , except over a discriminant locus of codimension at least in the base . The mirror partner of can then be constructed by dualizing the torus fibration over the smooth locus and compactifying the result in an appropriate way (this involves deforming the dual fibration by so-called quantum corrections). We refer to the excellent survey paper [Gr13] for a more precise statement and additional background on the SYZ conjecture, as well as the Gross–Siebert program.
