Noncommutative resolutions and CICY quotients from a non-abelian GLSM (2504.06147v1)
Abstract: We discuss a one-parameter non-abelian GLSM with gauge group $(U(1)\times U(1)\times U(1))\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_3$ and its associated Calabi-Yau phases. The large volume phase is a free $\mathbb{Z}_3$-quotient of a codimension $3$ complete intersection of degree-$(1,1,1)$ hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}2\times\mathbb{P}2\times\mathbb{P}2$. The associated Calabi-Yau differential operator has a second point of maximal unipotent monodromy, leading to the expectation that the other GLSM phase is geometric as well. However, the associated GLSM phase appears to be a hybrid model with continuous unbroken gauge symmetry and cubic superpotential, together with a Coulomb branch. Using techniques from topological string theory and mirror symmetry we collect evidence that the phase should correspond to a non-commutative resolution, in the sense of Katz-Klemm-Schimannek-Sharpe, of a codimension two complete intersection in weighted projective space with $63$ nodal points, for which a resolution has $\mathbb{Z}_3$-torsion. We compute the associated Gopakumar-Vafa invariants up to genus $11$, incorporating their torsion refinement. We identify two integral symplectic bases constructed from topological data of the mirror geometries in either phase.
