abstract

We prove a recent conjecture that the partition function of N=(2, 2) gauge theories on the two-sphere which flow to Calabi-Yau sigma models in the infrared computes the exact Kahler potential on the quantum Kahler moduli space of the corresponding Calabi-Yau. This establishes the two-sphere partition function as a new method of computation of worldsheet instantons and Gromov-Witten invariants. We also calculate the exact two-sphere partition function for N=(2,2) Landau-Ginzburg models with an arbitrary twisted superpotential W. These results are used to demonstrate that arbitrary abelian gauge theories and their associated mirror Landau-Ginzburg models have identical two-sphere partition functions. We further show that the partition function of non-abelian gauge theories can be rewritten as the partition function of mirror Landau-Ginzburg models.

Hyperfunctions in $A$-model Localization

hep-th · 2025-09-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives a distributional real-line integral formula for abelian observables in A-twisted N=(2,2) theories on S², verifies it on the CP^{N-1} GLSM correlator, and uses hyperfunctions to equate it with contour integrals matching the Jeffrey-Kirwan prescription.
