A mathematical theory of the gauged linear sigma model

Huijun Fan, Tyler J Jarvis and Yongbin Ruan

Geometry & Topology 22 (2018) 235–303
Abstract

We construct a mathematical theory of Witten’s Gauged Linear Sigma Model (GLSM). Our theory applies to a wide range of examples, including many cases with nonabelian gauge group.

Both the Gromov–Witten theory of a Calabi–Yau complete intersection X and the Landau–Ginzburg dual (FJRW theory) of X can be expressed as gauged linear sigma models. Furthermore, the Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau correspondence can be interpreted as a variation of the moment map or a deformation of GIT in the GLSM. This paper focuses primarily on the algebraic theory, while a companion article will treat the analytic theory.
