N=2 Supersymmetric Calabi-Yau Hypersurface Sigma-Models on Curved Two-Dimensions
Abstract
We consider the effect of curved two-dimensional space-time on Witten's supersymmetric sigma models interpolating Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces to Landau-Ginzburg models. In order for the former models to have significant connection to superstring theory, only the or part of the total world-sheet supersymmetry is made local. Even though there arises an additional minimizing condition due to a scalar auxiliary field in the supergravity multiplet on curved two-dimensions, the essential feature of the sigma-model relating Calabi-Yau and Landau-Ginzburg models will be maintained. This indicates the validity of these sigma models formulated on curved two-dimensions or curved world-sheets. As a by-product, the coupling of vector multiplets to other multiplets with local supersymmetry is developed.
