M2-branes on a Resolved C 4 /z 4
نویسنده
چکیده
We write down M2-branes on the resolved C 4 /Z 4 orbifold space. The resolved spatial geometry is such that it interpolates between R 2 ×CP 3 near the branes and C 4 /Z 4 asymp-totically. The near horizon geometry of these branes is a deformation of AdS 4 × S 7 /Z 4. An interesting aspect is that for k = 4 Chern-Simons theory coupling becomes vanishing near the IR cutoff leading to spontaneous compactification to type IIA.

Toward a Proof of Montonen-Olive Duality via Multiple M2-branes
We derive 4-dimensional N = 4 U(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory from a 3-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theory with product gauge group (U(N)). The latter describes M2-branes probing an orbifold where a torus emerges in a scaling limit. It is expected that the SL(2,Z) duality of the 4-dimensional Yang-Mills theory will be shown in M-theory point of view since it is trivially realized as mo...
متن کاملResolved Branes and M - theory on Special Holonomy Spaces
We review the construction of regular p-brane solutions of Mtheory and string theory with less than maximal supersymmetry whose transverse spaces have metrics with special holonomy, and where additional fluxes allow brane resolutions via transgression terms. We focus on the properties of resolved M2-branes and fractional D2-branes, whose transverse spaces are Ricci flat eight-dimensional and se...
متن کاملIntersecting Noncommutative M5-branes from Covariant Open Supermembrane
We study intersecting noncommutative (NC) M5-branes from κ-invariance of an open supermembrane action with constant three-form fluxes. The κ-invariance gives rise to possible D-brane configurations for which projection operators can be determined. We construct projection operators for two types of 1/4 BPS intersecting NC M5-branes. The one is an intersection of two NC M5-branes: NC M5⊥NC M5 (3)...
متن کاملConifolds from D-branes
We study resolution of conifold singularity by D-branes by considering compactification of D-branes on C 3 /Z 2 × Z 2. The resulting vacuum moduli space of D-branes is a toric variety which turns out to be a resolution of a conifold, that is a nodal variety in C 4. This has the implication that all the phases of Type–II string theory are geometrical and are accessible to the D-branes, since the...
متن کاملKnot Invariants and Topological Strings
We find further evidence for the conjecture relating large N Chern-Simons theory on S with topological string on the resolved conifold geometry by showing that the Wilson loop observable of a simple knot on S (for any representation) agrees to all orders in N with the corresponding quantity on the topological string side. For a general knot, we find a reformulation of the knot invariant in term...
