ADE-quiver theories and Mirror Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the Higgs branch of a four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, with gauge and matter content summarised by an ADE quiver diagram, is identical to the generalised Coulomb branch of a four-dimensional superconformal strongly coupled gauge theory with ADE global symmetry. This equivalence suggests the existence of a mirror symmetry between the quiver theories and the strongly coupled theories.

Comments on Quiver Gauge Theories and Matrix Models
Dijkgraaf and Vafa have conjectured the correspondences between topological string theories, N = 1 gauge theories and matrix models. By the use of this conjecture, we calculate the quantum deformations of Calabi-Yau threefolds with ADE singularities from ADE multi-matrix models. We obtain the effective superpotentials of the dual quiver gauge theories in terms of the geometric engineering for t...
متن کاملFinite Representations of a Quiver Arising from String Theory
Inspired by Cachazo, Katz and Vafa (“Geometric transitions and N = 1 quiver theories” (hep-th/0108120)), we examine representations of “N = 1 quivers” arising from string theory. We derive some mathematical consequences of the physics, and show that these results are a natural extension of Gabriel’s ADE theorem. Extending the usual ADE case that relates quiver representations to curves on surfa...
متن کاملMetastable Quivers in String Compactifications
We propose a scenario for dynamical supersymmetry breaking in string compactifications based on geometric engineering of quiver gauge theories. In particular we show that the runaway behavior of fractional branes at del Pezzo singularities can be stabilized by a flux superpotential in compact models. Our construction relies on homological mirror symmetry for orientifolds. [email protected]...
متن کاملHanany-Witten effect and SL(2,Z) dualities in matrix models
We provide tests of dualities for three-dimensional N = 4 quiver SCFTs with brane realizations in IIB string theory, by matching their exact partition functions on S3. The dualities are generated by SL(2,Z) transformations and Hanany-Witten 5-brane moves. These contain mirror symmetry as well as dualities identifiying fixed points of Yang-Mills quivers and Chern-Simons theories. The partition f...
متن کاملExplicit Analysis of Kahler Deformations in 4D N=1 Supersymmetric Quiver Theories
Starting from the N = 2 SYM4 quiver theory living on wrapped NiD5 branes around S 2 i spheres of deformed ADE fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY3) and considering deformations using massive vector multiplets, we explicitly build a new class of N = 1 quiver gauge theories. In these models, the quiver gauge group ∏ i U (Ni) is spontaneously broken down to ∏ i SU (Ni) and Kahler deformations are sh...
