Non-Perturbative Superpotentials in Landau-Ginzburg Compactification

Abstract

We study the Landau-Ginzburg models which correspond to Calabi-Yau four-folds. We construct the index of the typical states which correspond to toric divisors. This index shows that whether a corresponding divisor can generate a non-perturbative superpotential. For an application, we consider the phase transition in terms of the orbifold construction. We obtain the simple method by which the divisor, which can not generate a superpotential in the original theory, can generate a superpotential after orbifoldization.
