Abstract: This paper continues the authors’ program of studying mirror symmetry via log geometry and toric degenerations, relating affine manifolds with singularities, log Calabi-Yau spaces, and toric degenerations of Calabi-Yau spaces. The main focus of this paper is the calculation of the cohomology of a Calabi-Yau variety associated to a given affine manifold with singularities $B$. We show that the Dolbeault cohomology groups of the Calabi-Yau associated to $B$ are described in terms of certain cohomology groups of sheaves on $B$, as expected. This is proved first by calculating the log de Rham and log Dolbeault cohomology groups on the log Calabi-Yau space associated to $B$, and then proving a base-change theorem for cohomology in our logarithmic setting. As applications, this shows that our mirror symmetry construction via Legendre duality of affine manifolds results in the usual interchange of Hodge numbers expected in mirror symmetry and gives an explicit description of the monodromy of a smoothing.
