Abstract:
We construct a spectral sequence that converges to the cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex over a Calabi–Yau hypersurface and whose first term is a vertex algebra closely related to the Landau–Ginzburg orbifold. As an application, we prove an explicit orbifold formula for the elliptic genus of Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces.
Key words and phrases:Vertex algebra, chiral rings, polyvector fields, spectral sequence, orbifold.
