Mirror Duality in a Spencer-Type Complex: Analytic and Riemann-Roch Perspectives
Abstract
We introduce and analyze a Spencer-type elliptic complex on the space of differential forms valued in symmetric powers of an adjoint bundle, (X) Sym(G). The complex is governed by a total differential Dλ, depending on a section ∈(G) and a real parameter λ. The central result of this paper is an algebraic realization of mirror-type duality and parameter robustness at the chain-level. We demonstrate that sign flips (λ -λ or -) and rescaling (λ αλ) of the deformation parameters correspond to simple conjugations of the differential Dλ, by elementary zero-order automorphisms. This provides a unified, conceptual foundation for the invariance of topological invariants that is often established via case-by-case analytic methods. Analytically, this framework implies the invariance of harmonic space dimensions under the mirror map -. Algebraically, the Grothendieck--Riemann--Roch index formula for the complex's hypercohomology is shown to be manifestly independent of (λ, ), determined solely by the characteristic classes of a universal virtual bundle. The theory is fully compatible with equivariant localization and is verified with concrete applications on Calabi--Yau backgrounds, including K3 surfaces and elliptic curves. This framework thus offers a rigorous, chain-level explanation for the parameter robustness intrinsic to Witten-type deformations and localization phenomena, grounding them in a fundamental algebraic conjugation principle.
