We prove a tensor equivalence between full subcategories of a) graded matrix factorisations of the potential x^d-y^d and b) representations of the N=2 minimal super vertex operator algebra at central charge 3-6/d, where d is odd. The…
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…
In the low energy limit, the two-dimensional massless $\mathcal{N}=2$ Wess--Zumino (WZ) model with a quasi-homogeneous superpotential is believed to become a superconformal field theory. This conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg (LG)…
A pair of the 2D non-unitary minimal models $M(2,5)$ is known to be equivalent to a variant of the $M(3,10)$ minimal model. We discuss the RG flow from this model to another non-unitary minimal model, $M(3,8)$. This provides new evidence…
The conjecture that $N=2$ minimal models in two dimensions are critical points of a super-renormalizable Landau-Ginzburg model can be tested by computing the path integral of the Landau-Ginzburg model with certain twisted boundary…
It has been proposed that the Ginzburg-Landau description of the non-unitary conformal minimal model $M(3,8)$ is provided by the Euclidean theory of two real scalar fields with third-order interactions that have imaginary coefficients. The…
We compute the elliptic genera of orbifolds associated with $N=2$ super--conformal theories which admit a Landau-Ginzburg description. The identification of the elliptic genera of the macroscopic Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds with those of the…
Recently Witten proposed to consider elliptic genus in $N=2$ superconformal field theory to understand the relation between $N=2$ minimal models and Landau-Ginzburg theories. In this paper we first discuss the basic properties satisfied by…
We search for a \Lg\ interpretation of non-diagonal modular invariants of tensor products of minimal $n=2$ superconformal models, looking in particular at automorphism invariants and at some exceptional cases. For the former we find a…
We discuss a two-dimensional lagrangian model with $N=2$ supersymmetry described by a K\"{a}hler potential $K(X,\bar{X})$ and superpotential $gX^k$ which explicitly exhibits renormalization group flows to infrared fixed points where the…
We give a direct proof of the new "product" expression for the Ramond sector characters of N=2 minimal models recently suggested by E. Witten. Our construction allows us to generalize these expressions to the D and E series of N=2 minimal…
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…
The discovery of integrable $N=2$ supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg theories whose chiral rings are fusion rings suggests a close connection between fusion rings, the related Landau-Ginzburg superpotentials, and $N=2$ quantum integrability. We…
We study two dimensional $\mathcal{N} = (2, 2)$ Landau-Ginzburg models with tensor valued superfields with the aim of constructing large central charge superconformal field theories which are solvable using large $N$ techniques. We…
At an extremely low-energy scale, it is believed that the two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ Wess--Zumino model becomes an $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT). We study this theoretical conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg (LG)…
We find exactly solvable N=2-supersymmetric flows whose infrared fixed points are the N=2 minimal models. The exact S-matrices and the Casimir energy (a c-function) are determined along the entire renormalization group trajectory. The…
In this paper we discuss compactifications of M-theory to four dimensions on X \times S^1/Z_2, in which nonstandard embeddings in the E_8 \times E_8 vacuum gauge bundle are considered. At the level of the effective field theory description…
In this paper we study the low energy physics of Landau-Ginzburg models with N=(0,2) supersymmetry. We exhibit a number of classes of relatively simple LG models where the conformal field theory at the low energy fixed point can be…
We construct Z_M, M= 2, 3, 4, 6 orbifold models of the N=2 superconformal field theories with central charge c=3. Then we check the description of the Z_3, Z_4 and Z_6 orbifolds by the N=2 superconformal Landau-Ginzburg models with c=3, by…
