Moduli Space for Conifolds as Intersection of Orthogonal D6 branes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that a system of parallel D3 branes near a conifold singularity can be mapped onto an intersecting configuration of orthogonal branes in type IIA string theory. Using this brane configuration, we analyze the Higgs moduli space of the associated field theory. The dimension of the Higgs moduli space is computed from a geometrical analysis of the conifold singularity. Our results provide evidence for an extended s-rule. In addition, a discrepancy between the prediction of the brane configuration and the result obtained from a geometrical analysis is noted. This discrepancy is traced back to worldsheet instanton effects.

D6-brane Splitting on Type IIA Orientifolds
We study the open-string moduli of supersymmetric D6-branes, addressing both the string and field theory aspects of D6-brane splitting on Type IIA orientifolds induced by open-string moduli Higgsing (i.e., their obtaining VEVs). Specifically, we focus on the Z 2 × Z 2 ori-entifolds and address the symmetry breaking pattern for D6-branes parallel with the orientifold 6-planes as well as those po...
متن کاملD-branes and Discrete Torsion II
We derive D-brane gauge theories for C/ZZn ×ZZn orbifolds with discrete torsion and study the moduli space of a D-brane at a point. We show that, as suggested in previous work, closed string moduli do not fully resolve the singularity, but the resulting space – containing n − 1 conifold singularities – is somewhat surprising. Fractional branes also have unusual properties. We also define an ind...
متن کاملIntersecting D7-Branes, I5-Branes and Conifolds
A candidate supergravity solution of intersecting D7-branes with a fivedimensional intersecting domain (an I5-brane) is presented. This displays an enhanced Poincare symmetry and supersymmetry away from the brane cores. We also explore the possibility of a relation between the intersection region of D7-branes and conifolds through F-theory.
متن کاملScattering of Gauge, Matter, and Moduli Fields from Intersecting Branes
We calculate various tree–level (disk) scattering amplitudes involving gauge, matter and moduli fields in type IIB toroidal orbifold/orientifold backgrounds with D9, D5 respectively D7, D3–branes or via T -duality D6–branes in type IIA compactifications. In type IIB the D–branes may have non–vanishing fluxes on their world–volume. From these results we extract the moduli and flux dependence of ...
متن کاملSupergravity Solutions for Branes Localized Within Branes
We construct supergravity solutions describing branes (D2-branes or NS 5-branes or waves) localized within D6-branes in the region close to the core of the D6branes. Other similar string-theory and M-theory ‘near-core’ localized solutions can be found by applying U-duality and/or lifting D = 10 solutions to D = 11. In particular, the D2-branes localized on D6-branes is T-dual to a special case ...
