Abstract: There is an important question: can we probe the UV dynamics from given IR data by utilizing the 't Hooft anomaly? Under certain conditions with mild assumptions, we demonstrate that IR anomalies can help to constrain possible UV dynamics. Then, we utilize this to establish a relationship between different types of topological quantum field theories and propose a correspondence between the quantum cohomology of different target spaces.
