In this paper we study the low energy physics of Landau-Ginzburg models with N=(0,2) supersymmetry. We exhibit a number of classes of relatively simple LG models where the conformal field theory at the low energy fixed point can be explicitly identified. One interesting class of fixed points can be thought of as heterotic minimal models. Other examples include N=(0,2) renormalization group flows that end up at N=(2,2) minimal models and models with non-abelian symmetry.

By studying the infra-red fixed point of an $mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ Landau-Ginzburg model, we find an example of modular invariant partition function beyond the ADE classification. This stems from the fact that a part of the left-moving sector is a new co
nformal field theory which is a variant of the parafermion model.
In this paper we describe a physical realization of a family of non-compact Kahler threefolds with trivial canonical bundle in hybrid Landau-Ginzburg models, motivated by some recent non-Kahler solutions of Strominger systems, and utilizing some rece
nt ideas from GLSMs. We consider threefolds given as fiber products of compact genus g Riemann surfaces and noncompact threefolds. Each genus g Riemann surface is constructed using recent GLSM tricks, as a double cover of P^1 branched over a degree 2g + 2 locus, realized via nonperturbative effects rather than as the critical locus of a superpotential. We focus in particular on special cases corresponding to a set of Kahler twistor spaces of certain hyperKahler four-manifolds, specifically the twistor spaces of R^4, C^2/Z_k, and S^1 x R^3. We check in all cases that the condition for trivial canonical bundle arising physically matches the mathematical constraint.
We study non-compact Gepner models that preserve sixteen or eight supercharges in type II string theories. In particular, we develop an orbifolded Landau-Ginzburg description of these models analogous to the Landau-Ginzburg formulation of compact Gep
ner models. The Landau-Ginzburg description provides an easy and direct access to the geometry of the singularity associated to the non-compact Gepner models. Using these tools, we are able to give an intuitive account of the chiral rings of the models, and of the massless moduli in particular. By studying orbifolds of the singular linear dilaton models, we describe mirror pairs of non-compact Gepner models by suitably adapting the Greene-Plesser construction of mirror pairs for the compact case. For particular models, we take a large level, low curvature limit in which we can analyze corrections to a flat space orbifold approximation of the non-compact Gepner models. This gives rise to a counting of moduli which differs from the toric counting in a subtle way.
It has been conjectured that Chern-Simons (CS) gauged `regular bosons in the fundamental representation are `level-rank dual to CS gauged critical fermions also in the fundamental representation. Generic relevant deformations of these conformal field
theories lead to one of two distinct massive phases. In previous work, the large $N$ thermal free energy for the bosonic theory in the unHiggsed phase has been demonstrated to match the corresponding fermionic results under duality. In this note we evaluate the large $N$ thermal free energy of the bosonic theory in the Higgsed phase and demonstrate that our results, again, perfectly match the predictions of duality. Our computation is performed in a unitary gauge by integrating out the physical excitations of the theory - i.e. W bosons - at all orders in the t Hooft coupling. Our results allow us to construct an exact quantum effective potential for ${bar phi} phi$, the lightest gauge invariant scalar operator in the theory. In the zero temperature limit this exact Landau-Ginzburg potential is non-analytic at ${bar phi phi}=0$. The extrema of this effective potential at positive ${bar phi}phi$ solve the gap equations in the Higgsed phase while the extrema at negative ${bar phi} phi$ solve the gap equations in the unHiggsed phase. Our effective potential is bounded from below only for a certain range of $x_6$ (the parameter that governs sextic interactions of $phi$). This observation suggests that the regular boson theory has a stable vacuum only when $x_6$ lies in this range.
We construct connected (0,2) sigma models starting from n copies of (2,2) CP(N-1) models. General aspects of models of this type (known as T+O deformations) had been previously studied in the context of heterotic string theories. Our construction pre
sents a natural generalization of the nonminimally deformed (2,2) model with an extra (0,2) fermion superfield on tangent bundle T CP(N-1) x C^1. We had thoroughly analyzed the latter model previously, found the exact beta function and a spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. In contrast, in certain connected sigma models the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry disappears. We study the connected sigma models in the large-N limit finding supersymmetric vacua and determining the particle spectrum. While the Witten index vanishes in all the models under consideration, in these special cases of connected models one can use a permutation symmetry to define a modification of the Witten index which does not vanish. This eliminates the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. We then examine the exact beta functions of our connected (0,2) sigma models.
