Gerbes, genus-1 fibrations, and the SYZ conjecture
We discuss a partly conjectural extension of the Fourier-Mukai
transform, or the spectral construction, to several new situations,
including fibrations without sections, non-commutative geometries, and
higher dimensional complex or special Lagrangian torus fibers. The special
Lagrangian case in particular casts new light on the Strominger-Yau
Zaslow approach to mirror symmetry. It suggests the existence of an
integrable system structure on the moduli space of Calabi-Yaus (with B-
fields) on which mirror symmetry acts.
