Precisely, we prove that the total collection of rational Gromov-Witten invariants of such variety can be expressed in terms of certain invariants of a new generalization of variation of Hodge structures attached to the dual variety. To formulate the general principles of Mirror Symmetry in arbitrary dimension it is necessary to introduce the ``extended moduli space of complex structures'' M. An analog M\\to H*(X,C)[n] of the classical period map is described and is shown to be a local isomorphism. The invariants of the generalized variations of Hodge structures are introduced. It is proven that their generating function satisfies the system of WDVV-equations exactly as in the case of Gromov-Witten invariants. The basic technical tool utilized is the Deformation theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-03-22T11:41:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81Q30" ], "keywords": [ "mirror symmetry", "generalized periods", "hodge structures", "projective complete intersections calabi-yau varieties", "rational gromov-witten invariants" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 51, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999math......3124B" } } }
