Spectral Flow Equivariance for Calabi-Yau Sigma Models

Algebraic Geometry 2024-07-03 v1

Abstract

We write down an explicit operator on the chiral de Rham complex of a Calabi-Yau variety XX which intertwines the usual N=2\mathcal{N}=2 module structure with its twist by the spectral flow automorphism of the N=2\mathcal{N}=2, producing the expected \emph{spectral flow equivariance}. Taking the trace of the operators L0L_{0} and J0J_{0} on cohomology, and using the obvious interaction of spectral flow with characters, we obtain an explicit categorification of ellipticity of the elliptic genus of XX, which is well known by other means.
