Abstract: In this paper we discuss correlation functions in certain A-twisted Landau-Ginzburg models. Although B-twisted Landau-Ginzburg models have been discussed extensively in the literature, virtually no work has been done on A-twisted theories. In particular, we study examples of Landau-Ginzburg models over topologically nontrivial spaces - not just vector spaces - away from large-radius limits, so that one expects nontrivial curve corrections. By studying examples of Landau-Ginzburg models in the same universality class as nonlinear sigma models on nontrivial Calabi-Yaus, we obtain nontrivial tests of our methods as well as a physical realization of some simple examples of virtual fundamental class computations.


The paper is dealing with string-theory models of the Landau-Ginzburg type, which include four fermionic fields (that form a nonlinear sigma-model) and a superpotential interacting with them. The application of the ``A-twist to the Landau-Ginzburg model implies that two fermionic fields are worldsheet vectors, while two others are scalars. The work develops this model over topologically nontrivial spaces, and identifies its universality class.
