Abstract
Abstract In this work, we find the first examples of (0,2) mirror symmetry on compact non-Kähler complex manifolds. For this, we follow Borisov’s approach to mirror symmetry using vertex algebras and the chiral de Rham complex. Our examples of (0,2) mirrors are given by pairs of Hopf surfaces endowed with a Bismut-flat pluriclosed metric. Requiring that the geometry is homogeneous, we reduce the problem to the study of Killing spinors on a quadratic Lie algebra and the construction of embeddings of the $N=2$ superconformal vertex algebra in the superaffine vertex algebra, combined with topological T-duality.
