چکیده
A large class of (0,2) Calabi-Yau σ-models and Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are shown to arise as different “phases” of supersymmetric gauge theories. We find a phenomenon in the Landau-Ginzburg phase which may enable one to understand which Calabi-Yau σ-models evade destabilization by worldsheet instantons. Examples of (0,2) LandauGinzburg vacua are analyzed in detail, and several novel features of (0,2) models are discussed. In particular, we find that (0,2) models can have different quantum symmetries from the (2,2) models built on the same Calabi-Yau manifold, and that a new kind of topology change can occur in (0,2) models of string theory.

A-twisted heterotic Landau-Ginzburg models
In this paper, we apply the methods developed in recent work for constructing A-twisted (2,2) Landau-Ginzburg models to analogous (0,2) models. In particular, we study (0,2) LandauGinzburg models on topologically non-trivial spaces away from large-radius limits, where one expects to find correlation function contributions akin to (2,2) curve corrections. Such heterotic theories admit Aand B-mod...
متن کاملSinglet Couplings and (0,2) Models
We use the quantum symmetries present in string compactification on LandauGinzburg orbifolds to prove the existence of a large class of exactly marginal (0,2) deformations of (2,2) superconformal theories. Analogous methods apply to the more general (0,2) models introduced in [1], lending further credence to the fact that the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg models represent bona-fide (0,2) SCFTs....
متن کاملExact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method
The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.
متن کاملGeometry of (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg Orbifolds
Several aspects of (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are investigated. Especially the elliptic genera are computed in general and, for a class of models recently invented by Distler and Kachru, they are compared with the ones from (0,2) sigma models. Our formalism gives an easy way to calculate the generation numbers for lots of Distler-Kachru models even if they are based on singular Calabi-Yau ...
متن کاملOn Orbifolds of (0,2) Models
We study orbifolds of (0,2) models, including some cases with discrete torsion. Our emphasis is on models which have a Landau-Ginzburg realization, where we describe part of the massless spectrum by computing the elliptic genus for the orbifolded theory. Somewhat surprisingly, we find simple examples of (0,2) mirror pairs that are related by a quotient action. We present a detailed description ...
