Mirror symmetry is a somewhat mysterious phenomenon that relates the geometry of two distinct Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the realm of trying to understand this relationship an equation for a connection on a line bundle in a Kahler manifold appeared. This is commonly called the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation and I will explain what it is and some current joint work with Benoit Charbonneau and Rosa Sena-Dias which explicitly solves this equation on a specific setting. This helps in understanding the problem of the existence of solutions and explore (or rule out) possible stability conditions.
