Comments on (Non-)Chiral Gauge Theories and Type IIB Branes

چکیده
We use type IIB brane configurations which were recently suggested by Hanany and Zaffaroni to study four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. We calculate the one loop beta function and realize Seiberg’s duality using a particular configuration. We also comment on the anomaly cancelation condition in the case of chiral theories and the beta function in the case of chiral and SO/Sp theories. [email protected] [email protected]

Chiral field theories from conifolds
We discuss the geometric engineering and large N transition for an N = 1 U(N) chiral gauge theory with one adjoint, one conjugate symmetric, one antisymmetric and eight fundamental chiral multiplets. Our IIB realization involves an orientifold of a non-compact Calabi-Yau A2 fibration, together with D5-branes wrapping the exceptional curves of its resolution as well as the orientifold fixed locu...
متن کاملTachyon-Free Non-Supersymmetric Strings on Orbifolds
We discuss tachyon-free examples of (Type IIB on) non-compact nonsupersymmetric orbifolds with tachyons projected out by non-trivial discrete torsion. We also consider D3-branes in these backgrounds. The resulting non-supersymmetric gauge theories (including a chiral example) have supersymmetric spectra, but non-supersymmetric interactions. In the large N limit these theories are conformal to a...
متن کاملAnomalous U(1)’s in Type I and Type IIB D=4, N=1 string vacua
We study the cancellation of U (1) anomalies in Type I and Type IIB D = 4, N = 1 string vacua. We first consider the case of compact toroidal Z N Type IIB orientifolds and then proceed to the non-compact case of Type IIB D3 branes at orbifold and orientifold singularities. Unlike the case of the heterotic string we find that for each given vacuum one has generically more than one U (1) with non...
متن کاملChirality and T-duality
We consider four-dimensional N = 1 field theories realized by type IIA brane configurations of NS-branes and D4-branes, in the presence of orientifold six-planes and D6-branes. These configurations are known to present interesting effects associated to the appearance of chiral symmetries and chiral matter in the four-dimensional field theory. We center on models with one compact direction (elli...
متن کاملChiral String Compactifications from Intersecting
Intersecting Dp-branes often give rise to chiral fermions living on their intersections. We study the construction of four-dimensional chiral gauge theories by considering configurations of type II D(3 + n)-branes wrapped on non-trivial n-cycles on T × (R/ZN), for n = 1, 2, 3. The gauge theories on the four non-compact dimensions of the brane world-volume are generically chiral and non-supersym...
