Funded Activity Summary

Gauged sigma model, mirror symmetry, and related topics. This project aims to lay down a rigorous mathematical foundation of the gauged linear sigma model and seek its mathematical applications. The gauged linear sigma model is an important theory introduced by the great physicist Edward Witten. It is a fundamental framework in studying superstring theory, which is one of the most promising candidates for the unification of all aspects of physics. This project will generate new and significant results in geometry, with many benefits, providing solid mathematical foundations of the gauged linear sigma model, deepening the understanding of this theory, and providing new methods for solving classical problems.
