Among the major mathematical approaches to mirror symmetry are those of Batyrev-Borisov and Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ). The first is explicit and amenable to computation but is not clearly related to the physical motivation; the second is the opposite. Furthermore, it is far from obvious that mirror partners in one sense will also be mirror partners in the other. This paper concerns a class of examples that can be shown to satisfy the requirements of SYZ, but whose Hodge numbers are also equal. This provides significant evidence in support of SYZ. Moreover, the examples are of great interest in their own right: they are spaces of flat SLr-connections on a smooth curve. The mirror is the corresponding space for the Langlands dual group PGLr. These examples therefore throw a bridge from mirror symmetry to the duality theory of Lie groups and, more broadly, to the geometric Langlands program.
