Aspects of \((2,2)\) and \((0,2)\) hybrid models (Q2308285)

This work is about the study of topological rings of two-dimensional (2, 2) and (0, 2) hybrid models. The first case considered is the $\eta = (2,2)$ hybrid models that possess enough supersymmetry to admit a well-defined B-twisted version of the hybrid theory provided the conditions for an anomaly-free vector R-symmetry are satisfied. In such case, localisation has been used to derive a formula for the genus-0 correlators of the B-twisted theory. As expected, the expression reduces to a classical integral and instanton corrections are absent. A study of the properties of the correlators are given. The second case considered is the \(\eta = (0,2)\) hybrid models. The conditions for which these models admit a B/2-twist have been studied. In such case, the genus-0 correlators in the zero instanton sector have been computed. The conditions for instanton corrections to vanish have been analysed and the techniques have been applied to an example. The work ends with some open questions.
