Gauge Theory at Large N and New G2 Holonomy Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We find a one-parameter family of new G2 holonomy metrics and demonstrate that it can be extended to a two-parameter family. These metrics play an important role as the supergravity dual of the large N limit of four dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills. We show that these G2 holonomy metrics describe the M theory lift of the supergravity solution describing a collection of D6-branes wrapping the supersymmetric three-cycle of the deformed conifold geometry for any value of the string coupling constant.

An eight–dimensional approach to G2 manifolds
We develop a systematic approach to G2 holonomy manifolds with an SU(2)× SU(2) isometry using maximal eight-dimensional gauged supergravity to describe D6-branes wrapped on deformed three-spheres. A quite general metric ansatz that generalizes the celebrated Bryant–Salamon metric involves nine functions. We show that only six of them are the independent ones and derive the general first order s...
متن کاملNew Spin(7) Holonomy Metrics Admiting G 2 Holonomy Reductions and M-theory/iia Dualities
We construct several Spin(7) holonomy metrics which admits a G2 holonomy reduction along one isometry. The resulting G2 holonomy metrics admit a further reduction to a 6-dimensional Kahler metric, therefore realizing the pattern Spin(7) → G2 → (Kahler) proposed in [26] and which describe an M-theory/IIA superstring duality. An infinite class of such metrics are found, which are locally R3-fibra...
متن کاملD - Brane Probes of Special Holonomy Manifolds , and Dynamics of N = 1 Three - Dimensional Gauge Theories
Using D2-brane probes, we study various properties of M-theory on singular, non-compact manifolds of G2 and Spin(7) holonomy. We derive mirror pairs of N = 1 supersymmetric three-dimensional gauge theories, and apply this technique to realize exceptional holonomy manifolds as both Coulomb and Higgs branches of the D2-brane world-volume theory. We derive a “G2 quotient construction” of non-compa...
متن کاملD-Brane Probes of G2 Holonomy Manifolds
The concept of the D-brane probe provides the link between gauge theory and geometry. It has proven to be one of the most important ideas among recent developments in string theory, shedding new light on strong coupling gauge theory dualities, providing a physical interpretation of previously obscure algebraic-geometric constructions, and resulting in examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence with...
متن کاملHolonomy Spaces from Invariant Three - Forms
We construct several new G2 holonomy metrics that play an important role in recent studies of geometrical transitions in compactifications of M-theory to four dimensions. In type IIA string theory these metrics correspond to D6 branes wrapped on the threecycle of the deformed conifold and the resolved conifold with two-form RR flux on the blown-up two-sphere, which are related by a conifold tra...
