Seiberg’s Duality from Monodromy of Conifold Singularity
نویسنده
چکیده
Duality between N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories(Seiberg’s duality) is geometrized, in the framework of AdS/CFT correspondences. It is shown that Seiberg’s duality corresponds to monodromy of wrapped D5 branes on the homology cycles of a generalized conifold where D3 branes are located. The celebrated Ñc = Nf −Nc, Ñf = Nf rule is reproduced and a braid group structure in a sequence of dualities, is found.

Supergravity and a Confining Gauge Theory: Duality Cascades and χSB–Resolution of Naked Singularities
We revisit the singular IIB supergravity solution describing M fractional 3branes on the conifold [hep-th/0002159]. Its 5-form flux decreases, which we explain by showing that the relevantN = 1 SUSY SU(N+M)×SU(N) gauge theory undergoes repeated Seiberg-duality transformations in which N → N −M . Far in the IR the gauge theory confines; its chiral symmetry breaking removes the singularity of hep...
متن کاملStrange duality and polar duality
We describe a relation between Arnold’s strange duality and a polar duality between the Newton polytopes which is mostly due to M. Kobayashi. We show that this relation continues to hold for the extension of Arnold’s strange duality found by C. T. C. Wall and the author. By a method of Ehlers-Varchenko, the characteristic polynomial of the monodromy of a hypersurface singularity can be computed...
متن کاملThree Dimensional SCFT from M2 Branes at Conifold Singularities
Recently it was conjectured that parallel branes at conical singularities are related to string/M theory on AdS×X where X is an Einstein manifold. In this paper we consider coincident M2 branes near a conifold singularity when M theory is compactified on AdS4×Q for Q = (SU(2)×SU(2)× SU(2))/(U(1)× U(1)) as a seven dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifold. We argue that M theory on AdS4 × Q can be de...
متن کاملC2/Zn Fractional branes and Monodromy
We construct geometric representatives for the C/Zn fractional branes in terms of branes wrapping certain exceptional cycles of the resolution. In the process we use large radius and conifold-type monodromies, and also check some of the orbifold quantum symmetries. We find the explicit Seiberg-duality which connects our fractional branes to the ones given by the McKay correspondence. We also co...
متن کاملThe Poincaré series of a quasihomogeneous surface singularity
The Poincaré series pA(t) of the coordinate algebra A of a normal surface singularity (X,x) with good C∗-action is written in a certain way as a quotient of two polynomials φA(t)/ψA(t). For a Kleinian singularity, we derive from the McKay correspondence that φA(t) and ψA(t) are the characteristic polynomials of the Coxeter element and the affine Coxeter element respectively. We show that if (X,...
