Isomorphisms of Landau-Ginzburg B-ModelsCordner, Nathan James 01 May 2016 (has links)
Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry predicts isomorphisms between graded Frobenius algebras (denoted A and B) that are constructed from a nondegenerate quasihomogeneous polynomial W and a related group of symmetries G. In 2013, Tay proved that given two polynomials W1, W2 with the same quasihomogeneous weights and same group G, the corresponding A-models built with (W1, G) and (W2, G) are isomorphic. An analogous theorem for isomorphisms between orbifolded B-models remains to be found. This thesis investigates isomorphisms between B-models using polynomials in two variables in search of such a theorem. In particular, several examples are given showing the relationship between continuous deformation on the B-side and isomorphisms that stem as a corollary to Tay's theorem via mirror symmetry. Results on extending known isomorphisms between unorbifolded B-models to the orbifolded case are exhibited. A general pattern for B-model isomorphisms, relating mirror symmetry and continuous deformation together, is also observed.

Investigations into Non-Degenerate Quasihomogeneous Polynomials as Related to FJRW TheoryMancuso, Scott C 01 June 2015 (has links) (PDF)
The motivation for this paper is a better understanding of the basic building blocks of FJRW theory. The basics of FJRW theory will be briefly outlined, but the majority of the paper will deal with certain multivariate polynomials which are the most fundamental building blocks in FJRW theory. We will first describe what is already known about these polynomials and then discuss several properties we proved as well as conjectures we disproved. We also introduce a new conjecture suggested by computer calculations performed as part of our investigation.

Poincaré Polynomial of FJRW Rings and the Group-Weights ConjectureTay, Julian Boon Kai 07 June 2013 (has links) (PDF)
FJRW-theory is a recent advancement in singularity theory arising from physics. The FJRW-theory is a graded vector space constructed from a quasihomogeneous weighted polynomial and symmetry group, but it has been conjectured that the theory only depends on the weights of the polynomial and the group. In this thesis, I prove this conjecture using Poincaré polynomials and Koszul complexes. By constructing the Koszul complex of the state space, we have found an expression for the Poincaré polynomial of the state space for a given polynomial and associated group. This Poincaré polynomial is defined over the representation ring of a group in order for us to take G-invariants. It turns out that the construction of the Koszul complex is independent of the choice of polynomial, which proves our conjecture that two different polynomials with the same weights will have isomorphic FJRW rings as long as the associated groups are the same.

An Algebra Isomorphism for the Landau-Ginzburg Mirror Symmetry ConjectureJohnson, Jared Drew 07 July 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry takes place in the context of affine singularities in CN. Given such a singularity defined by a quasihomogeneous polynomial W and an appropriate group of symmetries G, one can construct the FJRW theory (see [3]). This construction fills the role of the A-model in a mirror symmetry proposal of Berglund and H ubsch [1]. The conjecture is that the A-model of W and G should match the B-model of a dual singularity and dual group (which we denote by WT and GT). The B-model construction is based on the Milnor ring, or local algebra, of the singularity. We verify this conjecture for a wide class of singularities on the level of Frobenius algebras, generalizing work of Krawitz [10]. We also review the relevant parts of the constructions.

New Computational Techniques in FJRW Theory with Applications to Landau Ginzburg Mirror SymmetryFrancis, Amanda 14 June 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Mirror symmetry is a phenomenon from physics that has inspired a lot of interesting mathematics. In the Landau-Ginzburg setting, we have two constructions, the A and B models, which are created based on a choice of an affine singularity with a group of symmetries. Both models are vector spaces equipped with multiplication and a pairing (making them Frobenius algebras), and they are also Frobenius manifolds. We give a result relating stabilization of singularities in classical singularity to its counterpart in the Landau-Ginzburg setting. The A model comes from so-called FJRW theory and can be de fined up to a full cohomological field theory. The structure of this model is determined by a generating function which requires the calculation of certain numbers, which we call correlators. In some cases the their values can be computed using known techniques. Often, there is no known method for finding their values. We give new computational methods for computing concave correlators, including a formula for concave genus-zero, four-point correlators and show how to extend these results to find other correlator values. In many cases these new methods give enough information to compute the A model structure up to the level of Frobenius manifold. We give the FJRW Frobenius manifold structure for various choices of singularities and groups.

The Frobenius Manifold Structure of the Landau-Ginzburg A-model for Sums of An and Dn SingularitiesWebb, Rachel Megan 27 June 2013 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis we compute the Frobenius manifold of the Landau-Ginzburg A-model (FJRW theory) for certain polynomials. Specifically, our computations apply to polynomials that are sums of An and Dn singularities, paired with the corresponding maximal symmetry group. In particular this computation applies to several K3 surfaces. We compute the necessary correlators using reconstruction, the concavity axiom, and new techniques. We also compute the Frobenius manifold of the D3 singularity.
