Fractional D3-branes in diverse backgrounds
نویسنده
چکیده
In the first part of this article, we find fractional D3-branes supergravity solutions on orientifolded C/Z2 orbifolds of type IIB string theory. The one-loop corrected gauge couplings for the symplectic or orthogonal groups living on the D-branes are reproduced on the world-volume of probes. In the second part of the paper, we construct a D3-brane solution on the two-centers Taub-NUT manifold which interpolates between fractional D3-branes in the ALE space limit and a T-dual smeared type IIA configuration. Then, we lift this configuration to M-theory and comment on the connections with wrapped M5-branes solutions.

Transmutation of N = 2 fractional D3 branes into twisted sector fluxes
We study the prototype of fractional D3 branes at non-isolated singularities in gauge/gravity duality at the nonperturbative level. We embed the quantum moduli space of N = 2 pure SYM, the gauge theory on fractional D3 branes at the A1 singularity, into that of the cascading quiver gauge theory on regular and fractional D3 branes at the same singularity, for which a gravity dual description exi...
متن کاملBrane Resolution Through Transgression
Modifications to the singularity structure of D3-branes that result from turning on a flux for the R-R and NS-NS 3-forms (fractional D3-branes) provide important gravity duals of four-dimensional N = 1 super-Yang-Mills theories. We construct generalisations of these modified p-brane solutions in a variety of other cases, including heterotic 5-branes, dyonic strings, M2-branes, D2-branes, D4-bra...
متن کاملGravity Duals of Fractional Branes and Logarithmic RG Flow
We study fractional branes in N = 2 orbifold and N = 1 conifold theories. Placing a large number N of regular D3-branes at the singularity produces the dual AdS5 ×X5 geometry, and we describe the fractional branes as small perturbations to this background. For the orbifolds, X = S/Γ and fractional D3-branes excite complex scalars from the twisted sector which are localized on the fixed circle o...
متن کاملAn example of localized D-branes solution on PP-wave backgrounds
In this note we provide an explicit example of type IIB supersymmetric D3-branes solution on a pp-wave like background, consisting in the product of an eight-dimensional pp-wave times a two-dimensional flat space. An interesting property of our solution is the fully localization of the D3-branes (i.e. the solution depends on all the transverse coordinates). Then we show the generalization to ot...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Flows on D3 branes at Orbifolded Conifolds
We consider D3-branes at orbifolded conifold singularities whose horizon X5 resolves into a smooth Einstein manifold which joins several copies of T. We describe in details the resolution of the singular horizon X5 and describe different type of two-cycles appearing in the resolution. For a large number of D3 branes, the AdS/CFT conjecture becomes a duality between type IIB string theory on AdS...
