Title: Mirror Symmetry for TCS G2 Manifolds
Abstract: String theories on different G2 manifolds can lead to identical physics in a phenomenon called G2 mirror symmetry. In this talk, I will review some of the physics background of mirror symmetry for G2 manifolds and present some recent progress. In particular, I will present an explicit constructions of G2 mirrors in the context of twisted connected sum G2 manifolds.
