Abstract

We discuss a one-parameter non-abelian GLSM with gauge group (U(1)×U(1)×U(1))Z3(U(1)\times U(1)\times U(1))\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_3 and its associated Calabi-Yau phases. The large volume phase is a free Z3\mathbb{Z}_3-quotient of a codimension 33 complete intersection of degree-(1,1,1)(1,1,1) hypersurfaces in P2×P2×P2\mathbb{P}^2\times\mathbb{P}^2\times\mathbb{P}^2. 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 6363 nodal points, for which a resolution has Z3\mathbb{Z}_3-torsion. We compute the associated Gopakumar-Vafa invariants up to genus 1111, incorporating their torsion refinement. We identify two integral symplectic bases constructed from topological data of the mirror geometries in either phase.
