Trivializing and Orbifolding the Conifold’s Base
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conifold is a cone over the space T , which is known to be topologically S × S. The coordinates used in the literature describe a sphere-bundle which can be proven to be topologically trivializable. We provide an explicit trivialization of this bundle, with simultaneous global coordinates for both spheres. Using this trivialization we are able to describe the topology of the base of several infinite families of chiral and non-chiral orbifolds of the conifold. We demonstrate that in each case the 2nd Betti number of the base matches the number of independent ranks in the dual quiver gauge theory.

Lattice Supersymmetry: Equivalence between the Link Approach and Orbifolding
We examine the relation between supersymmetric lattice gauge theories constructed by the link approach and by orbifolding and show that they are equivalent. We discuss the number of preserved supersymmetries. [email protected] [email protected]
متن کاملTri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing from Orbifolding
We show that the A4 discrete symmetry that naturally leads to tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing can be simply obtained as a result of an orbifolding starting from a model in 6 dimensions. This particular orbifolding has four fixed points where 4 dimensional branes are located and the tetrahedral symmetry of A4 connects these branes. In this approach A4 appears after the reduction from six to four d...
متن کاملGeometry of Orbifolded Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories
We prove that the prescription for construction of supersymmetric lattice gauge theories by orbifolding and deconstruction directly leads to Catterall’s geometrical discretization scheme in general. These two prescriptions always give the same lattice discretizations when applied to theories of p-form fields. We also show that the geometrical discretization scheme can be applied to more general...
متن کاملRelations among Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories via Orbifolding
We show how to derive Catterall’s supersymmetric lattice gauge theories directly from the general principle of orbifolding followed by a variant of the usual deconstruction. These theories are forced to be complexified due to a clash between charge assignments under U(1)-symmetries and lattice assignments in terms of scalar, vector and tensor components for the fermions. Other prescriptions for...
متن کاملClassification of Supersymmetric Lattice Gauge Theories by Orbifolding
We provide a general classification of supersymmetric lattice gauge theories that can be obtained from orbifolding of theories with four and eight supercharges. We impose at least one preserved supercharge on the lattice and Lorentz invariance in the naive continuum limit. Starting with four supercharges, we obtain one two-dimensional lattice gauge theory, identical to the one already given in ...
