Supersymmetric Localization in GLSMs for Supermanifolds

Abstract

In this paper we apply supersymmetric localization to study gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) describing supermanifold target spaces. We use the localization method to show that A-twisted GLSM correlation functions for certain supermanifolds are equivalent to A-twisted GLSM correlation functions for hypersurfaces in ordinary spaces under certain conditions. We also argue that physical two-sphere partition functions are the same for these two types of target spaces. Therefore, we reproduce the claim of arXiv:hep-th/9404186, arXiv:hep-th/9506070. Furthermore, we explore elliptic genera and (0,2) deformations and find similar phenomena.
