The Landau-Ginzburg/Conformal Field Theory correspondence predicts tensor equivalences between categories of matrix factorisations of certain polynomials and categories associated to the $N=2$ supersymmetric conformal field theories. We…
We study supersymmetric orientifolds where the world-sheet parity transformation is combined with a conjugation of some compact complex coordinates. We investigate their T-duality relation to standard orientifolds and discuss the origin of…
It is known that for any full rational conformal field theory, the correlation functions that are obtained by the TFT construction satisfy all locality, modular invariance and factorization conditions, and that there is a small set of…
We classify (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg theories that can flow to compact IR fixed points with equal left and right central charges strictly bounded by 3. Our result is a (0,2) generalization of the ADE classification of (2,2) Landau-Ginzburg…
We prove Auslander's defect formula in an exact category, and obtain a commutative triangle involving the Auslander bijections and the generalized Auslander-Reiten duality.
Berglund-H\"ubsch duality is an example of mirror symmetry between orbifold Landau-Ginzburg models. In this paper we study a D-module-theoretic variant of Borisov's proof of Berglund-H\"ubsch duality. In the $p$-adic case, the D-module…
Coincidence site lattices of oblique planar lattices are algebraically characterized using as basic tool the Cartan-Dieudonn\'e theorem, that is, the decomposition of an orthogonal transformation as a product of reflections. The case of…
We study matrix factorization and curved module categories for Landau-Ginzburg models (X,W) with X a smooth variety, extending parts of the work of Dyckerhoff. Following Positselski, we equip these categories with model category structures.…
We compute correlators of chiral operators in (0,2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg theories. The class of theories and the correlators we study are relevant for extending and testing mirror symmetry away from the (2,2) locus. More…
This article develops a duality principle applicable to a large class of variational problems. Firstly, we apply the results to a Ginzburg-Landau type model. In a second step, we develop another duality principle and related primal dual…
A ring with an Auslander dualizing complex is a generalization of an Auslander-Gorenstein ring. We show that many results which hold for Auslander-Gorenstein rings also hold in the more general setting. On the other hand we give criteria…
In this note we generalize the description of simple current extended Gepner Model orientifolds as presented in hep-th/0401148 to the case of even levels and non-trivial dressings of the parity transformation. We provide a comprehensive…
We argue how boundary B-type Landau-Ginzburg models based on matrix factorizations can be used to compute exact superpotentials for intersecting D-brane configurations on compact Calabi-Yau spaces. In this paper, we consider the dependence…
We compute correlators of non-local observables in a large class of A-twisted massive Landau-Ginzburg and gauged linear sigma models by localization to the discrete vacua. As an application, we present two topological field theories with…
We construct dual descriptions of (0,2) gauged linear sigma models. In some cases, the dual is a (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg theory, while in other cases, it is a non-linear sigma model. The duality map defines an analogue of mirror symmetry for…
We analyze a variational time discretization of geodesic calculus on finite- and certain classes of infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We investigate the fundamental properties of discrete geodesics, the associated discrete…
We describe defects - dislocations and disclinations - in the framework of Riemann-Cartan geometry. Curvature and torsion tensors are interpreted as surface densities of Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. Equations of nonlinear…
For each Fano threefold, we construct a family of Landau-Ginzburg models which satisfy many expectations coming from different aspects of mirror symmetry; they are log Calabi-Yau varieties with proper potential maps; they admit open…
We present a method to construct new tilting complexes from existing ones using tensor products, generalizing a result of Rickard. The endomorphism rings of these complexes are generalized matrix rings that are "componentwise" tensor…
We present the new explicit geometrical knowledge of the Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds, when a typical type of superpotential is considered. Relying on toric geometry, we show the one-to-one correspondence between some of the $(a,c)$ states…
