Description
In the late 80s and early 90s a three-way link was established between N=(2,2) SCFTs, compact Calabi Yau (CY) manifolds, and modular/Jacobi forms. These links can be understood through the corresponding Gauged Linear Sigma Models and calculations of their elliptic genera. I will discuss how there are interesting modifications to these links when the spectrum involves a continuum. The corresponding players in the new relations are non-compact N=(2,2) SCFTs, squashed toric manifolds, and mock modular/mock Jacobi forms.
