(2,2) Geometry from Gauge Theory
read the original abstract
Using gauge theory, we describe how to construct generalized Kahler geometries with (2,2) two-dimensional supersymmetry, which are analogues of familiar examples like projective spaces and Calabi-Yau manifolds. For special cases, T-dual descriptions can be found which are squashed Kahler spaces. We explore the vacuum structure of these gauge theories by studying the Coulomb branch, which usually encodes the quantum cohomology ring. Some models without Kahler dual descriptions possess unusual Coulomb branches. Specifically, there appear to be an infinite number of supersymmetric vacua.

Total instanton restriction via multiverse interference: Noncompact gauge theories and (-1)-form symmetries
Continuous-universe decomposition plus (-1)-form gauging eliminates every instanton in local QFTs, realized explicitly by switching 2D U(1) gauge theories to noncompact R gauge groups.
