Abstract: We construct algebraic virtual cycles that give us the cohomological field theories of Fan-Jarvis-Ruan invariants by integral transformations.

Review text

Let \(w \colon \mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}\) be a quasi-homogeneous polynomial, which defines a smooth hypersurface \(Q_w\) in an appropriate weighted projective space, and \(G\) be a finite group, that acts on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) fixing \(w\). Assuming that the pair \((w, G)\) satisfies certain natural conditions, the associated Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten (FJRW) invariants are cohomological invariants, constructed by studying the moduli stack \(X\) of (rigidified) \(G\)-spin curves, which satisfy the axioms of a cohomological field theory. Besides their physical meaning, they constitute a fundamental curve counting theory, as they encode the Gromov-Witten invariants of \(Q_w\), while being typically easier to compute. In this paper, the authors give an algebraic geometric interpretation of the FJRW cohomological field theories by showing that they can be expressed as integral, Fourier-Mukai type transforms whose kernels are algebraic virtual fundamental cycles. Their approach complements earlier constructions in the literature which were of analytic or more algebraic nature or worked in more restrictive cases. To produce the algebraic virtual cycle kernels, the authors apply the cosection localization principle to the stack \(X\). In the broad sector case, it is necessary to perform a suitable blowup as a first step before applying cosection localization.
