Toric Degenerations and Batyrev-Borisov Duality
  This is an extended example of the study of mirror symmetry via log schemes and the discrete Legendre transform on affine manifolds, introduced by myself and Bernd Siebert in "Mirror Symmetry via Logarithmic Degeneration Data I" (math.AG/0309070). In this paper, I consider the construction as it applies to the Batyrev-Borisov construction for complete intersections in toric varieties. Given a pair of reflexive polytopes with nef decompositions dual to each other, and given polarizations on the corresponding toric varieties, we construct examples of toric degenerations and their dual intersection complexes, which are affine manifolds with singularities. We show these affine manifolds are related by the discrete Legendre transform, thus showing that the Batyrev-Borisov construction is a special case of our more general construction. The description of the dual intersection complexes in terms of the combinatoricsof the setup generalises work of Haase and Zharkov in the toric hypersurface case, and similar work of Ruan. In particular, this gives a topological description of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow fibrations on complete intersections in toric varieties.
