Dynamical Generation of the VY Superpotential in SYM: A Higher-Form Perspective
Wei Gu
We present a semiclassical account of the Veneziano-Yankielowicz (VY) superpotential in four-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. Motivated by two-dimensional gauged linear s…
On Atiyah-Segal axioms for Witten-type TQFTs
Wei Gu
In this paper, we propose a new definition of the trace-map bordism within the Atiyah-Segal framework for Witten-type TQFTs constructed from the topological twist of mass-gapped th…
A Nakayama result for the quantum K theory of homogeneous spaces
Wei Gu, Leonardo C. Mihalcea, Eric Sharpe +3
We prove that the ideal of relations in the (equivariant) quantum K ring of a homogeneous space is generated by quantizations of each of the generators of the ideal in the classica…
On mixed 't Hooft anomalies of emergent symmetries
Wei Gu, Du Pei, Xingyang Yu
In this paper, we investigate the dynamical constraints imposed on the UV theory when it develops an emergent symmetry in the infrared with mixed 't Hooft anomalies. We demonstrate…
Schubert defects in Lagrangian Grassmannians
W. Gu, L. Mihalcea, E. Sharpe +3
In this paper, we propose a construction of GLSM defects corresponding to Schubert cycles in Lagrangian Grassmannians, following recent work of Closset-Khlaif on Schubert cycles in…
A correspondence between the quantum K theory and quantum cohomology of Grassmannians
Wei Gu, Jirui Guo, Leonardo Mihalcea +2
We utilize physics arguments, and the nonabelian/abelian correspondence, to relate the Givental and Lee's quantum K theory ring of Grassmannians to a twisted variant of the quantum…
Bosonic quantum integrable systems and gauge theories
Wei Gu
In this paper we apply two-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories to directly construct a new Bethe ansatz for the wavefunctions of the q-boson hopping model, and then derive 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…
Quantum K theory rings of partial flag manifolds
W. Gu, L. Mihalcea, E. Sharpe +3
In this paper we use three-dimensional gauged linear sigma models to make physical predictions for Whitney-type presentations of equivariant quantum K theory rings of partial flag…
A proposal for nonabelian (0,2) mirrors
W. Gu, J. Guo, E. Sharpe
In this paper we give a proposal for mirrors to (0,2) supersymmetric gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs), for those (0,2) GLSMs which are deformations of (2,2) GLSMs. Specifically,…
