In this paper we study the quantum sheaf cohomology of Grassmannians with deformations of the tangent bundle. Quantum sheaf cohomology is a (0,2) deformation of the ordinary quantum cohomology ring, realized as the OPE ring in A/2-twisted theories. Quantum sheaf cohomology has previously been computed for abelian gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs); here, we study (0,2) deformations of nonabelian GLSMs, for which previous methods have been intractable. Combined with the classical result, the quantum ring structure is derived from the one-loop effective potential. We also utilize recent advances in supersymmetric localization to compute A/2 correlation functions and check the general result in examples. In this paper we focus on physics derivations and examples; in a companion paper, we will provide a mathematically rigorous derivation of the classical sheaf cohomology ring.

In this work, we consider the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a highly oscillatory potential (NLSE-OP). The NLSE-OP is a model problem which frequently occurs in recent studies of some multiscale dynamical systems, where the potential introduces wide temporal oscillations to the solution and causes numerical difficulties. We aim to analyze rigorously the error bounds of the splitting schemes for solving the NLSE-OP to a fixed time. Our theoretical results show that the Lie–Trotter splitting scheme is uniformly and optimally accurate at the first order provided that the oscillatory potential is integrated exactly, while the Strang splitting scheme is not. Our results apply to general dispersive or wave equations with an oscillatory potential. The error estimates are confirmed by numerical results.

We introduce two exponential-type integrators for the “good” Boussinesq equation. They are of orders one and two, respectively, and they require lower spatial regularity of the solution compared to classical exponential integrators. For the first integrator, we prove first-order convergence in H^r for solutions in H^{r+1} with r>1/2. This new integrator even converges (with lower order) in H^r for solutions in H^r, i.e., without any additional smoothness assumptions. For the second integrator, we prove second-order convergence in H^r for solutions in H^{r+3} with r>1/2 and convergence in L^2 for solutions in H^3. Numerical results are reported to illustrate the established error estimates. The experiments clearly demonstrate that the new exponential-type integrators are favorable over classical exponential integrators for initial data with low regularity.

We present and analyze two numerical methods for the logarithmic Schrödinger equation (LogSE) consisting of a regularized splitting method and a regularized conservative Crank–Nicolson finite difference method (CNFD). In order to avoid numerical blow-up and/or to suppress round-off error due to the logarithmic nonlinearity in the LogSE, a regularized logarithmic Schrödinger equation (RLogSE) with a small regularized parameter 0<ε≪1 is adopted to approximate the LogSE with linear convergence rate O(ε). Then we use the Lie–Trotter splitting integrator to solve the RLogSE and establish its error bound O(τ^{1/2}ln(ε^{−1})) with τ>0 the time step, which implies an error bound at O(ε+τ^{1/2}ln(ε^{−1})) for the LogSE by the Lie–Trotter splitting method. In addition, the CNFD is also applied to discretize the RLogSE, which conserves the mass and energy in the discretized level. Numerical results are reported to confirm our error bounds and to demonstrate rich and complicated dynamics of the LogSE.

We present a regularized finite difference method for the logarithmic Schr ̈odingerequation (LogSE) and establish its error bound. Due to the blowup of the logarithmic nonlinearity, i.e., ln ρ→ −\infty when ρ→0+v with ρ = |u|^2 being the density and u being the complex-valuedwave function or order parameter, there are significant difficulties in designing numerical methodsand establishing their error bounds for the LogSE. In order to suppress the roundoff error and toavoid blowup, a regularized LogSE (RLogSE) is proposed with a small regularization parameter 0 < ε << 1 and linear convergence is established between the solutions of RLogSE and LogSE interm of ε. Then a semi-implicit finite difference method is presented for discretizing the RLogSEand error estimates are established in terms of the mesh sizehand time stepτas well as the smallregularization parameterε. Finally numerical results are reported to illustrate our error bounds.
