D-branes on Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
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]

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 کاملBrane Configurations for Three-dimensional Nonabelian Orbifolds
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 disc...
متن کاملNonabelian gauge field and dual description of fuzzy sphere
In matrix models, higher dimensional D-branes are obtained by imposing a noncommutative relation to coordinates of lower dimensional D-branes. On the other hand, a dual description of this noncommutative space is provided by higher dimensional D-branes with gauge fields. Fuzzy spheres can appear as a configuration of lower dimensional D-branes in a constant R-R field strength background. In thi...
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 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...
