Dimers, orientifolds and anomalies

چکیده
We study $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories engineered via D-branes at orientifolds of toric singularities, where anomalies are cancelled without the introduction non-compact flavor branes. Using dimer model techniques, we derive geometric criteria for establishing whether a given singularity can admit anomaly-free D-brane configurations purely based on its data and type orientifold projection. Our results therefore extend dictionary between properties singularities physical corresponding theories.

Thesis: Orientifolds, Anomalies and the Standard Model
In this thesis, we study aspects of D-brane realizations of the Standard Model. Specifically, we study orientifold models with rotation and translation elements that break supersymmetry, provide the general consistency conditions and derive the massless spectrum for these type of orientifolds. These models contain in general anomalous U(1) gauge fields. The Green-Schwarz mechanism cancels the a...
متن کاملGauge and gravitational anomalies in D = 4 N = 1 orientifolds
The cancellation of U(1)-gauge and U(1)-gravitational anomalies in certain D = 4 N = 1 Type IIB orientifolds is analyzed in detail, from a string theory point of view. We verify the proposal that these anomalies are cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism involving only twisted Ramond-Ramond fields. By factorizing one-loop partition functions, we also get the anomalous couplings of D-branes, O-p...
متن کاملSigma-model anomalies in compact D=4, N=1 Type IIB orientifolds and Fayet-Iliopoulos terms
Compact Type IIB D = 4, N = 1 orientifolds have certain U(1) σ-model symmetries at the level of the effective Lagrangian. These symmetries are generically anomalous. We study the particular case of ZN orientifolds and find that these anomalies may be cancelled by a generalized Green-Schwarz mechanism. This mechanism works by the exchange of twisted RR-fields associated to the orbifold singulari...
متن کاملF Theory Orientifolds, M Theory Orientifolds, and Twisted Strings
Orientifolds of the type IIB superstring that descend from F theory and M theory orbifolds are studied perturbatively. One finds strong evidence that a previously ignored twisted open string is required in these models. An attempt is made to interpret the J type torsion in F theory where one finds a realization of Gimon and Johnson’s models which does not require these twisted strings. S-dualit...
متن کاملOrientifolds and K–theory
Recently it has been shown that D-branes in orientifolds are not always described by equivariant Real K–theory. In this paper we define a previously unstudied twisted version of equivariant Real K–theory which gives the Dbrane spectrum for such orientifolds. We find that equivariant Real K–theory can be twisted by elements of a generalised group cohomology. This cohomology classifies all orient...
