An adaptive modified weak Galerkin method (AmWG) for an elliptic problem is studied in this paper, in addition to its convergence and optimality. The weak Galerkin bilinear form is simplified without the need of the skeletal variable, and the approximation space is chosen as the discontinuous polynomial space as in the discontinuous Galerkin method. Upon a reliable residual-based a posteriori error estimator, an adaptive algorithm is proposed together with its convergence and quasi-optimality proved for the lowest order case. The major tool is to bridge the connection between weak Galerkin method and the Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming finite element. Unlike the traditional convergence analysis for methods with a discontinuous polynomial approximation space, the convergence of AmWG is penalty parameter free.
