Computational aspects in orbifold equivalence

Abstract: Landau-Ginzburg models are a family of physical theories described by some polynomial (or "potential") characterized by having an isolated singularity at the origin. Often appearing in mirror-symmetric phenomena, they can be collected in higher categories with nice properties that allow direct computations. In this context, it is possible to introduce an equivalence relation between two different potentials called "orbifold equivalence". We will present some recent examples of this equivalence, and discuss the computational challenges posed by the search of new ones. Joint work with Timo Kluck.
