    Semi-ample hypersurfaces and mirror symmetry

    The semi-ample hypersurfaces generalize the Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in the Batyrev's mirror symmetry construction. While there were many developments in the last few years in understaning mirror symmetry coming from ample hypersurfaces (complete intersections) in toric varieties, the general case in the toric mirror symmetry is still an unsolved problem. One reason for this is the missing description of the cohomology of semi-ample hypersurfaces. I will provide a complete algebraic description of the middle cohomology for semi-ample 3-folds, and also discuss its connection to the Frobenius algebras for A and B models in mirror symmetry.
