First, we discuss renormalization properties of a class of gauged linear sigma models (GLSM) which reduce to $\\mathbb{WCP}(N,\\tilde{N})$ non-linear sigma models (NLSM) in the low-energy limit. Sometimes they are referred to as the Hanany-Tong models. If supersymmetry is ${\\cal N} =(2,2)$ the ultraviolet-divergent logarithm in LGSM appears, in the renormalization of the Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter, and is exhausted by a single tadpole graph. This is not the case in the daughter NLSMs. As a result, the one-loop renormalizations are different in GLSMs and their daughter NLSMs We explain this difference and identify its source. In particular, we show why at $N=\\tilde N$ there is no UV logarithms in the parent GLSM, while they do appear on the corresponding NLSM does not vanish. In the second part of the paper we discuss the same problem for a class of ${\\cal N} =(0,2)$ GLSMs considered previously. In this case renormalization is not limited to one loop; all-orders exact $\\beta$ functions for GLSMs are known. We discuss divergent loops at one and two-loop levels.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-22T17:54:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gauged linear sigma models", "geometric representation", "daughter nlsms", "non-linear sigma models", "single tadpole graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
