Berglund–Hübsch transpose and Sasaki–Einstein rational homology 7-spheres
Resumen
We show that links of isolated hypersurface singularities defined by invertible polynomials coming from the Johnson and Kollár list of Kähler-Einstein 3-folds that are rational homology 7-spheres remain rational homology 7-spheres under the so-called Berglund-Hübsch transpose rule coming from classical mirror symmetry constructions. Actually, this rule produces twins, that is, links with same degree, Milnor number and homology H3, with the exception of iterated Thom-Sebastiani sums of singularities of chain and cycle type, where the torsion and the Milnor number vary. The Berglund-Hübsch transpose rule not only gives a framework to better understand the existence of Sasaki-Einstein twins but also gives a mechanism for producing new examples of Sasaki-Einstein twins in the rational homology 7-sphere setting. We also give reasonable conditions for a Sasaki-Einstein rational homology 7-sphere to remain Sasaki-Einstein under the Berglund-Hübsch transpose rule. In particular, we found 75 new examples of Sasaki-Einstein rational homology 7-spheres arising as links of not well-formed hypersurface singularities.
