Abstract

In this paper, we apply the methods developed in recent work for constructing A-twisted (2, 2) Landau–Ginzburg models to analogous (0, 2) models. In particular, we study (0, 2) Landau–Ginzburg models on topologically non-trivial spaces away from large-radius limits, where one expects to find correlation function contributions akin to (2, 2) curve corrections. Such heterotic theories admit A- and B-model twists, and exhibit a duality that simultaneously exchanges the twists and dualizes the gauge bundle. We explore how this duality operates in heterotic Landau–Ginzburg models, as well as other properties of these theories, using examples which renormalization-group flow to heterotic nonlinear sigma models as checks on our methods.
