abstract

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 roles of the chiral and anti-chiral rings interchanged. These orbifolds thus constitute a possible mirror pair. Furthermore, new pairs of conjugate models may be obtained by taking the product of old ones. We also give a sufficient (and possibly necessary) condition for two models to be conjugate, and show that it is satisfied by the mirror pairs proposed by one of the authors and~H\"ubsch.

Beyond Algebraic Superstring Compactification: Part II

hep-th · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Deformations of algebraic complete-intersection and toric superstring models indicate a non-algebraic generalization that matches mirror duality and calls for a broader heterotic analysis framework.

Beyond Algebraic Solutions to Stringy Spacetime

hep-th · 2026-05-23 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Generalizations beyond algebraic geometry in string theory remain aligned with mirror symmetry, support quantitative analysis, and point to deeper symplectic geometry connections.
