abstract
We show that the metric and Berry's curvature for the ground states of $N=2$ supersymmetric sigma models can be computed exactly as one varies the Kahler structure. For the case of $CP^n$ these are related to special solutions of affine toda equations. This allows us to extract exact results (including exact instanton corrections). We find that the ground state metric is non-singular as the size of the manifold shrinks to zero thus suggesting that 2d QFT makes sense even beyond zero radius. In other words it seems that manifolds with zero size are non-singular as target spaces for string theory (even when they are not conformal). The cases of $CP^1$ and $CP^2$ are discussed in more detail.

On Atiyah-Segal axioms for Witten-type TQFTs
A modified trace map with a background-particle insertion is proposed, yielding a unitary Atiyah-Segal formulation for Witten-type TQFTs; the mechanism is shown for CP^n.
