| Title: |
A pair of non-birational but derived equivalent Calabi-Yau manifolds from non-Abelian gauge theories |
| Abstract: |
We construct a family of (2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories in 2-dimensions that flows to a family of (2,2) superconformal fields theories with \hat{c}=3.
The family has two limits and three singular points. The two limits correspond to two Calabi-Yau manifolds which are not birationally equivalent.
The two are, however, derived equivalent by general principle of supersymmetric quantum field theory.
