We compute the elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) gauged linear sigma models via supersymmetric localization, for rank-one gauge groups. The elliptic genus is expressed as a sum over residues of a meromorphic function…
We describe, in some detail, a number of different Coulomb gas formulations of $N=2$ superconformal coset models. We also give the mappings between these formulations. The ultimate purpose of this is to show how the Landau-Ginzburg…
We calculate the elliptic genus of two dimensional abelian gauged linear sigma models with (2,2) supersymmetry using supersymmetric localization. The matter sector contains charged chiral multiplets as well as Stueckelberg fields coupled to…
In this paper, we discuss elliptic genera of (2,2) and (0,2) supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models over nontrivial spaces, i.e., nonlinear sigma models on nontrivial noncompact manifolds with superpotential, generalizing old computations in…
We propose a new definition of the elliptic genera for complete intersections, not necessarily nonsingular, in projective spaces. We also prove they coincide with the expressions obtained from Landau-Ginzburg model by an elementary…
We investigate a noncompact Gepner model, which is composed of a number of SL(2,R)/U(1) Kazama-Suzuki models and N=2 minimal models. The SL(2,R)/U(1) Kazama-Suzuki model contains the discrete series among the SL(2,R) unitary representations…
We compute the elliptic genera of general two-dimensional N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) gauge theories. We find that the elliptic genus is given by the sum of Jeffrey-Kirwan residues of a meromorphic form, representing the one-loop determinant of…
In this paper we explore nonabelian gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) for symplectic and orthogonal Grassmannians and flag manifolds, checking e.g. global symmetries, Witten indices, and Calabi-Yau conditions, following up a proposal in…
In this note we prove an identity that equates the elliptic genus partition function of a supersymmetric sigma model on the N-fold symmetric product $M^N/S_N$ of a manifold M to the partition function of a second quantized string theory on…
The two-dimensional one-component logarithmic Coulomb gas is mapped onto a non-hermitian fermionic field theory. At $\beta=2$, the field theory is free. Correlation functions are calculated and a perturbation theory is discussed for…
Witten recently gave further evidence for the conjectured relationship between the $A$ series of the $N=2$ minimal models and certain Landau-Ginzburg models by computing the elliptic genus for the latter. The results agree with those of the…
In this paper we describe a systematic method to compute elliptic genera of (2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories in two dimensions with gauge group G/Gamma (for G semisimple and simply-connected, Gamma a subgroup of the center of G) with…
We consider a class of gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) in two dimensions that flow to non-compact (2,2) superconformal field theories in the infra-red, a prototype of which is the SL(2,\IR)/U(1) (cigar) coset. We compute the elliptic…
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 describe general constraints on the elliptic genus of a 2d supersymmetric conformal field theory which has a gravity dual with large radius in Planck units. We give examples of theories which do and do not satisfy the bounds we derive,…
A random matrix representation is proposed for the two-dimensional (2D) Coulomb gas at inverse temperature $\beta$. For $2\times 2$ matrices with Gaussian distribution we analytically compute the nearest neighbour spacing distribution of…
The Gepner-like models of $k^{K}$-type is considered. When $k+2$ is multiple of $K$ the elliptic genus and the Euler characteristic is calculated. Using free-field representation we relate these models with $\sigma$-models on hypersurfaces…
We express the correlation functions of the SU(2) WZW conformal field theory on Riemann surfaces of genus >1 by finite dimensional integrals.
It is well-known that two-dimensional Coulomb gases at a special inverse temperature $\beta = 2$ can be analyzed by using the orthogonal polynomial method borrowed from the theory of random matrices. In this paper, such Coulomb gas…
We construct and identify star representations canonically associated with holonomy reducible simple symplectic symmetric spaces. This leads the a non-commutative geometric realization of the correspondence between causal symmetric spaces…
