Brane Configurations for Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We study brane configurations corresponding to D-branes on complex threedimensional orbifolds C/Γ with Γ = ∆(3n) and ∆(6n), nonabelian finite subgroups of SU(3). The brane configurations consist of D3-branes on webs of (p, q) 5-branes of type IIB string theory. The structure of irreducible representations of the groups ∆(3n) and ∆(6n) can be explained from the brane configurations. We also discuss relations between the brane configurations and geometries of C/Γ by means of toric methods. ∗e-mail address: [email protected]

Brane Cube Realization of Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds
We study D-branes on three-dimensional orbifolds C/Γ where Γ are finite subgroups of SU(3). The quiver diagram of Zn × Zn ∈ SU(3) can be expressed in three-dimensional form. According to the correspondence between quiver diagrams and brane configurations, we construct a brane configuration for C/Zn×Zn which has essentially three-dimensional structrue. Brane configurations for nonabelian orbifol...
متن کاملD-branes on Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds
We study D-branes on a three complex dimensional nonabelian orbifold C/Γ with Γ a finite subgroup of SU(3). We present general formulae which are necessary to obtain the gauge group and the spectrum of the D-brane worldvolume theory for dihedral-like subgroups ∆(3n) and ∆(6n). Physical implications of the formulae are discussed. ∗ e-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملThe shape of nonabelian D-branes
We evaluate bulk distribution of energies, pressures and various Dbrane/F-string charges generated by nontrivial matrix configurations in nonabelian D-brane effective field theories, using supergravity source density formulas derived originally in Matrix theory. Off-diagonal elements of worldvolume nonabelian fields, especially transverse scalar fields, induce various interesting bulk structure...
متن کاملBrane Cosmologies without Orbifolds
We study the dynamics of branes in configurations where 1) the brane is the edge of a single anti-de Sitter space and 2) the brane is the surface of a vacuum bubble in an asymptotically flat space-time. In both cases we find solutions that resemble the standard Robertson-Walker cosmologies although in the latter, the evolution is not controlled by matter on the brane, but by the five-dimensiona...
متن کاملD-branes in Nonabelian Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion
We study IIB string theory on the orbifold R8/Γ with discrete torsion where Γ is an arbitrary subgroup of U(4). We extend some previously known identities for discrete torsion in abelian groups to nonabelian groups. We construct explicit formulas for a large class of fractional D-brane states and prove that the physical states are classified by projective representations of the orbifold group a...
