Abstract: We compute the elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) gauged linear sigma models via supersymmetric localization, for rank-one gauge groups. The elliptic genus is expressed as a sum over residues of a meromorphic function whose argument is the holonomy of the gauge field along both the spatial and the temporal directions of the torus. We illustrate our formulas by a few examples including the quintic Calabi-Yau, N=(2,2) SU(2) and O(2) gauge theories coupled to N fundamental chiral multiplets, and a geometric N=(0,2) model.


The subject of the paper are field theories on the torus with \(\mathcal{N}=(2,2)\) or \(\mathcal{N}=(0,2)\) supersymmetry and rank-one gauge symmetry, called gauged linear sigma models. These theories allow the computation of the partition function called elliptic genus by supersymmetric localization. This computation is the main content of the paper. Among the explicit examples are the quintic Calabi-Yau, \(\mathcal{N}=(2,2)\) \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\) and \(\mathrm{O}(2)\) gauge theories coupled to \(N\) fundamental chiral multiplets, and a geometric \(\mathcal{N}=(0,2)\) model.
