Abstract

We study the behavior of a family of Hermitian–Yang–Mills connections on complex two-dimensional Kähler tori, when the metrics degenerate. We prove a convergence theorem of connections for this family. From this result and an idea coming from mirror symmetry, we construct a (special) Lagrangian submanifold on the mirror torus. Conjecturally this gives the inverse of the homological mirror symmetry construction of Fukaya (J Algebraic Geom 11(3):393–512, 2002).
