Abstract:
Using mirror symmetry, we resolve an old puzzle in the linear sigma model
description of the spacetime Higgs mechanism in a heterotic string
compactification with (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry. The resolution has a nice
spacetime interpretation via the normalization of physical fields and suggests
that with a little care deformations of the linear sigma model can describe
heterotic Higgs branches.
