AB - We introduce a class of Laurent polynomials, called maximally mutable Laurentpolynomials (MMLPs), that we believe correspond under mirror symmetry to Fanovarieties. A subclass of these, called rigid, are expected to correspond toFano varieties with terminal locally toric singularities. We prove that thereare exactly 10 mutation classes of rigid MMLPs in two variables; under mirrorsymmetry these correspond one-to-one with the 10 deformation classes of smoothdel~Pezzo surfaces. Furthermore we give a computer-assisted classification ofrigid MMLPs in three variables with reflexive Newton polytope; under mirrorsymmetry these correspond one-to-one with the 98 deformation classes ofthree-dimensional Fano manifolds with very ample anticanonical bundle. Wecompare our proposal to previous approaches to constructing mirrors to Fanovarieties, and explain why mirror symmetry in higher dimensions necessarilyinvolves varieties with terminal singularities. Every known mirror to a Fanomanifold, of any dimension, is a rigid MMLP.
