Abstract: We construct and study various properties of a negative spin version of the Witten -spin class. By taking the top Chern class of a certain vector bundle on the moduli space of twisted spin curves that parametrises -th roots of the anticanonical bundle, we construct a non-semisimple cohomological field theory (CohFT) that we call the Theta class . This CohFT does not have a flat unit and its associated Dubrovin--Frobenius manifold is nowhere semisimple. Despite this, we construct a semisimple deformation of the Theta class, and using the Teleman reconstruction theorem, we obtain tautological relations on . We further consider the descendant potential of the Theta class and prove that it is the unique solution to a set of -algebra constraints, which implies a recursive formula for the descendant integrals. Using this result for , we prove Norbury's conjecture which states that the descendant potential of coincides with the Br'ezin--Gross--Witten tau function of the KdV hierarchy. Furthermore, we conjecture that the descendant potential of is the -BGW tau function of the -KdV hierarchy and prove the conjecture for .
