چکیده
In this note we show how the anomalies of both pure and matter coupled N = 1, 2 supersymmetric gauge theories describing the low energy dynamics of fractional branes on orbifolds can be derived from supergravity.

We study a bound state of fractional D3-branes localized inside the world-volume of fractional D7-branes on the orbifold C3/(Z2 × Z2). We determine the open string spectrum that leads to N = 1 U(N1) × U(N2) × U(N3) × U(N4) gauge theory with matter having the number of D7-branes as a flavor index. We derive the linearized boundary action of the D7-brane on this orbifold using the boundary state ...
متن کاملDeconstruction, Lattice Supersymmetry, Anomalies and Branes
We study the realization of anomalous Ward identities in deconstructed (latticized) supersymmetric theories. In a deconstructed four-dimensional theory with N = 2 supersymmetry, we show that the chiral symmetries only appear in the infrared and that the anomaly is reproduced in the usual framework of lattice perturbation theory with Wilson fermions. We then realize the theory on the world-volum...
متن کاملGravity Duals of Fractional Branes and Logarithmic RG Flow
We study fractional branes in N = 2 orbifold and N = 1 conifold theories. Placing a large number N of regular D3-branes at the singularity produces the dual AdS5 ×X5 geometry, and we describe the fractional branes as small perturbations to this background. For the orbifolds, X = S/Γ and fractional D3-branes excite complex scalars from the twisted sector which are localized on the fixed circle o...
متن کاملAnomalies and Tadpoles in Open/Closed String Duality
We discuss the role played by the divergences appearing in the interaction between a fractional D3 brane dressed with an SU(N) gauge field and a stack of N fractional D3 branes on the orbifolds C2/Z2 and C 3/(Z2 × Z2). In particular we show that the logarithmic divergences in the closed string channel, interpreted as due to twisted massless tadpoles, are mapped, under open/closed string duality...
متن کاملFractional Branes, Confinement, and Dynamically Generated Superpotentials
We examine the effects of instantons in four-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory by including D0-branes in type IIA brane constructions. We examine instantongenerated superpotentials in supersymmetric QCD and find that they are due to a repulsive force between D4-branes bound to D0-branes ending on NS 5-branes. We study situations where instanton effects break supersymmetry such as th...
