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.
