The Orbifold Landau-Ginzburg Conjecture For Unimodal And Bimodal Singularities, Natalie Wilde Bergin

Theses and Dissertations

The Orbifold Landau-Ginzburg Mirror Symmetry Conjecture states that for a quasihomogeneous singularity W and a group G of symmetries of W, there is a dual singularity WT and dual group GT such that the orbifold A-model of W/G is isomorphic to the orbifold B-model of WT/GT. The Landau-Ginzburg A-model is the Frobenius algebra HW,G constructed by Fan, Jarvis, and Ruan, and the B-model is the Orbifold Milnor ring of WT . The unorbifolded conjecture has been verified for Arnol'd's list of simple, unimodal and bimodal quasi-homogeneous singularities with G the maximal diagonal symmetry group by Priddis, Krawitz, Bergin, Acosta, et …
