We explore two-dimensional sigma models with (0,2) supersymmetry through their chiral algebras. Perturbatively, the chiral algebras of (0,2) models have a rich infinite-dimensional structure described by the cohomology of a sheaf of chiral differential operators. Nonperturbatively, instantons can deform this structure drastically. We show that under some conditions they even annihilate the whole algebra, thereby triggering the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. For a certain class of K\"ahler manifolds, this suggests that there are no harmonic spinors on their loop spaces and gives a physical proof of the H\"ohn-Stolz conjecture.

  1. Preventing Curvature Singularities in $f(R)$ Dark Energy Models

    gr-qc 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Adding R² or related higher-curvature corrections can prevent singularities in toy f(R) dark-energy models only when the correction mass is tuned far below the Starobinsky inflation scale.
