Supersymmetric vortex defects in two dimensions

Abstract We study codimension-two BPS defects in 2d N=2,2 $$ \mathcal{N} = \left(2,\ 2\right) $$ supersymmetric gauge theories, focusing especially on those characterized by vortex-like singularities in the dynamical or non-dynamical gauge field. We classify possible SUSY-preserving boundary conditi...

总结:Abstract We study codimension-two BPS defects in 2d N=2,2 $$ \mathcal{N} = \left(2,\ 2\right) $$ supersymmetric gauge theories, focusing especially on those characterized by vortex-like singularities in the dynamical or non-dynamical gauge field. We classify possible SUSY-preserving boundary conditions on charged matter fields around the vortex defects, and derive a formula for defect correlators on the squashed sphere. We also prove an equivalence relation between vortex defects and 0d-2d coupled systems. Our defect correlators are shown to be consistent with the mirror symmetry duality between Abelian gauged linear sigma models and Landau-Ginzburg models, as well as that between the minimal model and its orbifold. We also study the vortex defects inserted at conical singularities.
