Duality In Matrix Theory And Three Dimensional Mirror Symmetry
Certain limits of the duality between M-theory on T /Z2 and IIB on K3 are analyzed in Matrix theory. The correspondence between M-theory five-branes and ALE backgrounds is realized as three dimensional mirror symmetry. Non-critical strings dual to open membranes are explicitly described as gauge theory excitations. We also comment on Type IIA on K3 and the appearance of gauge symmetry enhanceme...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry, Kobayashi's Duality, and Saito's Duality
M. Kobayashi introduced a notion of duality of weight systems. We tone this notion slightly down to a notion called coupling. We show that coupling induces a relation between the reduced zeta functions of the monodromy operators of the corresponding singularities generalizing an observation of K. Saito concerning Arnold's strange duality. We show that the weight systems of the mirror symmetric ...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry and Strange Duality
1. Mirror symmetry Superstring theory and conformal eld theory has developed and was connected with algebraic geometry in the late 80's. The mirror symmetry, which implies a kind of symmetry of moduli space of Calabi-Yau varieties, is one of the most striking blows from superconformal eld theory. Since there are numerous papers available in this subject now, we will just follow the story and re...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Mirror Symmetry from M-theory
We construct two dimensional gauge theories with N = (4, 4) supersymmetry from branes of type IIA string theory. Quantum effects in the two dimensional gauge theory are analyzed by embedding the IIA brane construction into M-theory. We find that the Coulomb branch of one theory and the Higgs branch of a mirror theory become equivalent at strong coupling. A relationship to the decoupling limit o...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry is T-Duality
It is argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold X with a mirror Y admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles. Moreover the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space Y . The mirror transformation is equivalent to T-duality on the 3-cycles. The geometry of moduli space is addressed in a general framework. Several examples are discussed. † email: ...
