Notes on a singular Landau-Ginzburg family

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-12-03 v1

Abstract

We study some properties of a singular Landau-Ginzburg family characterized by the multi-variable superpotential W=X1(Y1Y2)n1+1n(Y1Y2)nY3Y4W=-X^{-1}(Y_1Y_2)^{n-1} + {1\over n} (Y_1Y_2)^n - Y_3Y_4. We will argue that (the infra-red limit of) this theory describes the topological degrees of freedom of the c=1c=1 string compactified at nn times the self-dual radius. We also briefly comment on the possible realization of these line singularities as singularities of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
