  • We generalize Coulomb-branch-based gauged linear sigma model (GLSM)-based computations of quantum cohomology rings of Fano spaces. Typically such computations have focused on GLSMs without superpotential, for which the IR phase of the GLSM is a pure Coulomb branch, and quantum cohomology is determined by the critical locus of a twisted one-loop effective superpotential. Here, we systematically extend to cases for which the IR phase is a mixture of Coulomb and Higgs branches, where the latter is a Landau-Ginzburg orbifold. We describe the state spaces and products of corresponding operators in detail, comparing a geometric phase description, where the OPE ring is quantum cohomology, to the IR description in terms of Coulomb and Higgs branch states. As a concrete test of our methods, we compare to existing mathematics results for quantum cohomology rings of hypersurfaces in projective spaces in numerous examples.
