Abstract

In the low energy limit, the two-dimensional massless N=2\mathcal{N}=2 Wess--Zumino (WZ) model with a quasi-homogeneous superpotential is believed to become a superconformal field theory. This conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg (LG) description has been studied numerically in the case of the A2A_2, A3A_3, and E6E_6 minimal models. In this paper, by using a supersymmetric-invariant non-perturbative formulation, we simulate the WZ model with two superfields corresponding to the D3D_3, D4D_4, and E7E_7 models. Then, we numerically determine the central charge, and obtain the results that are consistent with the conjectured correspondence. We hope that this numerical approach, when further developed, will be useful to investigate superstring theory via the LG/Calabi--Yau correspondence.
