Chiral rings and GSO projection in Orbifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
The GSO projection in the twisted sector of orbifold background is sometimes subtle and incompatible descriptions are found in literatures. Here, from the equivalence of partition functions in NSR and GS formalisms, we give a simple rule of GSO projection for the chiral rings of string theory in C/Zn, r = 1, 2, 3. Necessary constructions of chiral rings are given by explicit mode analysis. ∗Work supported partially by the department of Energy under contract number DE-AC03-76SF005515.

Chiral rings, Mirror Symmetry and the Fate of Localized Tachyons
We study the localized tachyon condensation of non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We first show that the R-charges of chiral primaries increase under the process of condensing the tachyon in the same chiral ring. Then, utilizing the existence of four copies of (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry, we show that the minimal tachyon mass in twisted sectors i...
متن کاملLocalized tachyons in C/ZN
We study the condensation of localized closed string tachyons in C/ZN nonsupersymmetric noncompact orbifold singularities via renormalization group flows that preserve supersymmetry in the worldsheet conformal field theory and their interrelations with the toric geometry of these orbifolds. We show that for worldsheet supersymmetric tachyons, the endpoint of tachyon condensation generically inc...
متن کاملOn a Residue Representation of Deformation, Koszul and Chiral Rings
A residue-theoretic representation is given for massless matter fields in (quotients) of (weighted) Calabi-Yau complete intersection models and the corresponding chiral operators in Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. The well known polynomial deformations are thus generalized and the universal but somewhat abstract Koszul computations acquire a concrete realization and a general but more heuristic rein...
متن کاملLandau-Ginzburg Orbifolds, Mirror Symmetry and the Elliptic Genus
We compute the elliptic genus for arbitrary two dimensional N = 2 Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. This is used to search for possible mirror pairs of such models. We show that if two Landau-Ginzburg models are conjugate to each other in a certain sense, then to every orbifold of the first theory corresponds an orbifold of the second theory with the same elliptic genus (up to a sign) and with the rol...

We search for a Landau–Ginzburg 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 simple description as Landau–Ginzburg orbifolds, which reproduce the correct chiral rings as well as the spectra of various Gepner–type models and orbi...
