Using mirror symmetry, we resolve an old puzzle in the linear sigma model description of the spacetime Higgs mechanism in a heterotic string compactification with (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry. The resolution has a nice spacetime interpretation via the normalization of physical fields and suggests that with a little care deformations of the linear sigma model can describe heterotic Higgs branches.

Beyond Algebraic Solutions to Stringy Spacetime
Generalizations beyond algebraic geometry in string theory remain aligned with mirror symmetry, support quantitative analysis, and point to deeper symplectic geometry connections.
