Hyperfunctions in A-model localization
摘要
We apply localization techniques to topologically A-twisted 𝒩 = (2, 2) supersymmetric theories of vector and chiral multiplets on S2 and derive a novel exact formula for abelian observables, described by a distribution integrated along the real line. The distributional integral formula is verified by evaluating the correlator of the A-twisted ℂℙN−1 gauged linear sigma model and confirming the standard selection rule. Finally, we use hyper-functions to demonstrate the equivalence between the distributional and complex contour integral descriptions of the ℂℙN−1 correlator, and find agreement with the Jeffrey-Kirwan residue prescription.
