Dn Quivers From Branes

چکیده
D-branes can end on orbifold planes if the action of the orbifold group includes (−1)FL . We consider configurations of D-branes ending on such orbifolds and study the low-energy theory on their worldvolume. We apply our results to gauge theories with eight supercharges in three and four dimensions. We explain how mirror symmetry for N = 4 d = 3 gauge theories with gauge group Sp(k) and matter in the antisymmetric tensor and fundamental representations follows from S-duality of IIB string theory. We argue that some of these theories have hidden Fayet-Iliopoulos deformations, not visible classically. We also study a class of finite N = 2 d = 4 theories (so-called Dn quiver theories) and find their exact solution. The integrable model corresponding to the exact solution is a Hitchin system on an orbifold Riemann surface. We also give a simple derivation of the S-duality group of these theories based on their relationship to SO(2n) instantons on R ×T2.

D-branes and Vector Bundles on Calabi-yau Manifolds: a View from the Helix
We review some recent results on D-branes on Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds. We show the existence of structures (helices and quivers) which enable one to make statements about large families of D-branes in various phases of the Gauged Linear Sigma Model (GLSM) associated with the CY manifold. A comparison of the quivers of two phases leads to the prediction that certain D-brane configurations will ...
متن کاملGraded B-branes on Simple Singularities
We prove the relation between the triangulated categories of graded B-branes on simple singularities and the derived categories of representations of Dynkin quivers. The proof is based on the theory of weighted projective lines by Geigle and Lenzing and Orlov’s theorem on the relation between triangulated categories of graded B-branes and the derived category of coherent sheaves.
متن کاملThe Number of Elements in the Mutation Class of a Quiver of Type Dn
We show that the number of quivers in the mutation class of a quiver of Dynkin type Dn is given by ∑ d|n φ(n/d) ( 2d d ) /(2n) for n ≥ 5. To obtain this formula, we give a correspondence between the quivers in the mutation class and certain rooted trees. Introduction Quiver mutation is an important ingredient in the definition of cluster algebras [FZ1]. It is an operation on quivers, which indu...
متن کاملCOUNTING THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS IN THE MUTATION CLASSES OF QUIVERS OF TYPE Ãn
In this article we prove explicit formulae counting the elements in the mutation classes of quivers of type Ãn. In particular, we obtain the number of non-isomorphic clustertilted algebras of type Ãn. Furthermore, we give an alternative proof for the number of quivers of Dynkin type Dn which was first determined by Buan and Torkildsen in [4].
متن کاملUndoing Orbifold Quivers
A number of new papers have greatly elucidated the derivation of quiver gauge theories from D-branes at a singularity. A complete story has now been developed for the total space of the canonical line bundle over a smooth Fano 2-fold. In the context of the AdS/CFT conjecture, this corresponds to eight of the ten regular Sasaki-Einstein 5-folds. Interestingly, the two remaining spaces are among ...
