Abstract

We hope to understand the Hodge theoretic aspect of mirror symmetry in the framework of the fundamental diagram of log mixed Hodge theory. We give a formulation of mirror conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefolds as the coincidence of log period maps with specified sections under the mirror map. Since a variation of Hodge structure with unipotent monodromies on a product of punctured discs uniquely extends over the puncture to a log Hodge structure, we can work on the boundary point over which the log Riemann–Hilbert correspondence exists, and we can observe clearly in high resolution the behavior of Z-structure over the boundary point (cf. notes in Introduction below). This is an advantage of log Hodge theory.
