Shift orbifolds, decompactification limits, and lattices

Dan Israel, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Yann Proto

We describe the general shift orbifold of a Narain CFT and use this to investigate decompactification limits in the heterotic Narain moduli space. We also comment on higher rank th…

Quantum cohomology from mixed Higgs-Coulomb branches

W. Gu, I. V. Melnikov, E. Sharpe

We generalize Coulomb-branch-based gauged linear sigma model (GLSM)-based computations of quantum cohomology rings of Fano spaces. Typically such computations have focused on GLSMs…

Flat F-theory and friends

Peng Cheng, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian

We discuss F-theory backgrounds associated to flat torus bundles over Ricci-flat manifolds. In this setting the F-theory background can be understood as a IIB orientifold with a la…

Flat equivariant gerbes: holonomies and dualities

Peng Cheng, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian

We examine the role of global topological data associated to choices of holonomy for flat gauge fields in string compactification. Our study begins with perturbative string compact…

Fixed points of (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg renormalization group flows and the chiral algebra

Marco Bertolini, Ilarion V. Melnikov, M. Ronen Plesser

We discuss renormalization group flows in two-dimensional quantum field theories with (0,2) supersymmetry. We focus on theories with UV described by a Landau-Ginzburg Lagrangian an…

The Forced Soliton Equation and Semiclassical Soliton Form Factors

Ilarion V. Melnikov, Constantinos Papageorgakis, Andrew B. Royston

We show that the leading semiclassical behavior of soliton form factors at arbitrary momentum transfer is controlled by solutions to a new wave-like integro-differential equation t…

Accelerating Solitons

Ilarion V. Melnikov, Constantinos Papageorgakis, Andrew B. Royston

We present the saddle-point approximation for the effective Hamiltonian of the quantum kink in two-dimensional linear sigma models to all orders in the time-derivative expansion. W…

Small Landau-Ginzburg theories

Sean M. Gholson, Ilarion V. Melnikov

We classify (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg theories that can flow to compact IR fixed points with equal left and right central charges strictly bounded by 3. Our result is a (0,2) generaliz…

Spacetime supersymmetry in low-dimensional perturbative heterotic compactifications

Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian, Savdeep Sethi

We study the constraints of spacetime supersymmetry for perturbative three- and two-dimensional Minkowski vacua of the critical heterotic string. Assuming a standard RNS constructi…

Non-duality in three dimensions

Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian, Savdeep Sethi

We investigate M-theory and heterotic compactifications to 7 and 3 dimensions. In 7 dimensions we discuss a class of massive supergravities that arise from M-theory on K3 and point…

From 6D SCFTs to Dynamic GLSMs

Fabio Apruzzi, Falk Hassler, Jonathan J. Heckman +1

Compactifications of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on four-manifolds generate a large class of novel 2d quantum field theories. We consider in detail the case of the ran…

Landau-Ginzburg skeletons

Ian C. Davenport, Ilarion V. Melnikov

We study the class of indecomposable two-dimensional Landau-Ginzburg theories with (2,2) supersymmetry and central charge c < 6 with the aim of classifying all such theories up to…

Relevant deformations and c-extremization

Ilarion V. Melnikov

We consider RG flows obtained by a relevant deformation from unitary and compact two-dimensional (0,2) SCFTs. We point out that an N=2 super-Kac-Moody algebra present in the UV is…

UV Completions for Non-Critical Strings

Fabio Apruzzi, Falk Hassler, Jonathan J. Heckman +1

Compactifications of the physical superstring to two dimensions provide a general template for realizing 2D conformal field theories coupled to worldsheet gravity, i.e. non-critica…

Global Symmetries and N=2 SUSY

Jock McOrist, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Brian Wecht

We prove that N=2 theories that arise by taking n free hypermultiplets and gauging a subgroup of Sp(n), the non-R global symmetry of the free theory, have a remaining global symmet…
