Equivalence of Geometric Engineering and Hanany-Witten via Fractional Branes

چکیده
We present an explicit relation between the Hanany-Witten and Geometric Engineering approaches of realising gauge theories in string theory. The last piece in the puzzle is a T-duality relating arbitrary Hanany-Witten setups and fractional branes.

Equivalence of Geometric Engineering and Hanany-Witten
We show the equivalence of three different realisations of gauge theory in string theory. These are the Hanany-Witten brane constructions, the use of branes as probes and geometric engineering. We illustrate the equivalence via Tand S-dualities with the simplest non-trivial examples in four dimensions: N = 2 SYM with gauge groups ∏ SU(Ni).
متن کاملChiral 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 کاملField Theory Dynamics from Branes in String Theory
I review certain aspects of Hanany-Witten setups and other approaches used to embed (and solve) gauge theories in string theory. Applications covered include dualities in 4 and 3 dimensions, fixed points in 6 dimensions, phase transitions between different geometric backgrounds and dualities between branes and geometry.
متن کاملRR charges of D2-branes in group manifold and Hanany-Witten effect
By exploiting the correspondence between the Cardy boundary state in SU(2) group manifold and the BPS D3-brane configuration in the full asymptotically flat geometry of NS5-branes, we show that the Hanany-Witten effect in 10D background is encoded in the Cardy boundary states. The two RR Page D0 charges of the n-th spherical D2-brane due to the contraction to e or (−e) is interpreted, and attri...
متن کاملD-brane Construction for Non-Abelian Walls
Supersymmetric U(NC) gauge theory with NF massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation is given by the brane configuration made of NC fractional Dp-branes stuck at the Z2 orbifold singularity on NF separated D(p+4)-branes. We show that non-Abelian walls in this theory are realized as kinky fractional Dp-branes interpolating between D(p+4)branes. Wall solutions and their duality bet...
