  9. Evidence From Things Working Out Nicely Z 2 S CS [ a ] − iS BF [ a ; A ] − iS CS [ A ] = Z scalar [ A ] D a Z fermion [ a ] e − i Now start from: Z D A Z scalar [ A ] e iS BF [ A,C ] Promote A to a dynamical gauge field. Right-hand side becomes On the left-hand-side something pretty happens. After integrating out A , we find Z D a Z fermion [ a ] e + i 2 S CS [ a ]+ iS BF [ a ; A ]+ iS CS [ A ] But this is just the time-reversal of the original duality Z D a Z scalar [ a ] e iS BF [ A ; a ] = Z scalar [ A ] Peskin 1978, This is particle-vortex duality!

  19. Breaking Susy in 2d • Identify global U(1) symmetry on both sides • Couple to background vector multiplet V • Turn on background parameters m and D-term. • D-term will break supersymmetry s N=(2,2) Cigar D-term gives masses to all scalars.
