Abstract

We introduce a duality construction for toric Landau–Ginzburg models, applicable to complete intersections in toric varieties via the sigma model / Landau–Ginzburg model correspondence. This construction is shown to reconstruct those of Batyrev-Borisov, Berglund–Hübsch, Givental, and Hori–Vafa. It can be done in more general situations, and provides partial resolutions when the above constructions give a singular mirror. An extended example is given: the Landau–Ginzburg models dual to elliptic curves in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^2$.
