Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a mathematical theory of the half-twisted $(0,2)$ gauged linear sigma model and its correlation functions that agrees with and extends results from physics. The theory is associated to a smooth projective toric variety $X$ and a deformation $sheafE$ of its tangent bundle $T_X$. It gives a quantum deformation of the cohomology ring of the exterior algebra of $sheaf{E}^{\ast }$. We prove that in the general case, the correlation functions are independent of `nonlinear' deformations. We derive quantum sheaf cohomology relations that correctly specialize to the ordinary quantum cohomology relations described by Batyrev in the special case $sheafE=T_X$.
