N=2 gauged WZW models and the elliptic genus

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v3

Abstract

Witten recently gave further evidence for the conjectured relationship between the AA series of the N=2N=2 minimal models and certain Landau-Ginzburg models by computing the elliptic genus for the latter. The results agree with those of the N=2N=2 minimal models, as can be calculated from the known characters of the discrete series representations of the N=2N=2 superconformal algebra. The N=2N=2 minimal models also have a Lagrangian representation as supersymmetric gauged WZW models. We calculate the elliptic genera, interpreted as a genus one path integral with twisted boundary conditions, for such models and recover the previously known result.
