On Cy-lg Correspondence for (0,2) Toric Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We conjecture a description of the vertex (chiral) algebras of the (0,2) nonlinear sigma models on smooth quintic threefolds. We provide evidence in favor of the conjecture by connecting our algebras to the cohomology of a twisted chiral de Rham sheaf. We discuss CY/LG correspondence in this setting.

Sheaves on Toric Varieties for Physics
In this paper we give an inherently toric description of a special class of sheaves (known as equivariant sheaves) over toric varieties, due in part to A. A. Klyachko. We apply this technology to heterotic compactifications, in particular to the (0,2) models of Distler, Kachru, and also discuss how knowledge of equivariant sheaves can be used to reconstruct information about an entire moduli sp...
متن کاملA Tropical View on Landau-ginzburg Models
We fit Landau-Ginzburg models into the mirror symmetry program pursued by the last author jointly with Mark Gross. This point of view transparently brings in tropical disks of Maslov index 2 that group together virtually as broken lines, introduced in two dimensions in [Gr2]. We obtain proper superpotentials which agree on an open part with those classically known for toric varieties. Examples ...
متن کاملOrbifold Phases of Heterotic Flux Vacua
By studying phase transitions in supersymmetric gauge theories with Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation, a natural relation is found between sigma models on certain nonKähler manifolds with intrinsic torsion and asymmetric Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. In these orbifold limits, a quantum anomaly of the orbifold action is cancelled by discrete phases in the partition function. These intrinsic torsio...
متن کاملThe making of Calabi-Yau spaces: Beyond toric hypersurfaces
While Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric ambient spaces provide a huge number of examples, theoretical considerations as well as applications to string phenomenology often suggest a broader perspective. With even the question of finiteness of diffeomorphism types of CY 3-folds unsettled, an important idea is Reid’s conjecture that the moduli spaces are connected by certain singular transitions. ...
متن کاملCalabi Yau Algebras and Weighted Quiver Polyhedra
Dimer models have been used in string theory to construct path algebras with relations that are 3-dimensional Calabi Yau Algebras. These constructions result in algebras that share some specific properties: they are finitely generated modules over their centers and their representation spaces are toric varieties. In order to describe these algebras we introduce the notion of a toric order and s...
