Noncommutative resolutions and CICY quotients from a non-abelian GLSM
Abstract
We discuss a one-parameter non-abelian GLSM with gauge group and its associated Calabi-Yau phases. The large volume phase is a free -quotient of a codimension complete intersection of degree- hypersurfaces in . The associated Calabi-Yau differential operator has a second point of maximal unipotent monodromy, leading to the expectation that the other GLSM phase is geometric as well. However, the associated GLSM phase appears to be a hybrid model with continuous unbroken gauge symmetry and cubic superpotential, together with a Coulomb branch. Using techniques from topological string theory and mirror symmetry we collect evidence that the phase should correspond to a non-commutative resolution, in the sense of Katz-Klemm-Schimannek-Sharpe, of a codimension two complete intersection in weighted projective space with nodal points, for which a resolution has -torsion. We compute the associated Gopakumar-Vafa invariants up to genus , incorporating their torsion refinement. We identify two integral symplectic bases constructed from topological data of the mirror geometries in either phase.
