Chern classes and the periods of mirrors

Authors: Anatoly Libgober
Author institution: University of Illinois at Chicago

Summary: We show how Chern classes of a Calabi Yau hypersurface in a toric Fano manifold can be expressed in terms of the holomorphic at a maximal degeneracy point period of its mirror. We also consider the relation between the Chern classes and the periods of mirrors for complete intersections in Grassmanian Gr(2,5).
