A holomorphic anomaly in the elliptic genus

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Dorigoni .

I shall discuss the elliptic genera of a class of (2,2) superconformal field theories in two dimensions with non-compact target spaces. These theories have a continuous spectra and unequal density of states for bosons and fermions. The corresponding elliptic genera are not holomorphic and have mock modular behaviour. I shall discuss these theories from the ultra-violet gauged linear sigma model point of view, and explain how the lack of holomorphicity arises from an axionic compensator field that cures the chiral anomaly in the theory.
