چکیده
We present the basic ideas of geometric engineering of the supersymmetric quantum field theories viewed as a low energy limit of type II strings and F-theory on singular Calabi Yau manifolds. We first give the main lines of toric geometry as it is a powerful technique to deal with compact complex manifolds. Then we introduce mirror symmetry which plays a crucial role in the study of superstring dualities and finally we give elements on Calabi Yau singularities. After that we study the geometric engineering of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in six and four dimensions. Finally we make comments regarding N = 1 SYM in four dimensions. ∗[email protected] -Talk given at Workshop on Non commutative geometry, Superstrings and Particle Physics, 16-17 June 2000, Rabat, Morocco

متن کاملConformal Field Theories on K3 and Three-Dimensional Gauge Theories
According to a recent conjecture, the moduli space of the heterotic conformal field theory on a G ⊂ ADE singularity of an ALE space is equivalent to the moduli space of a pure N = 4 supersymmetric three-dimensional gauge theory with gauge group G. We establish this relation using geometric engineering of heterotic strings and generalize it to theories with non-trivial matter content.
متن کاملTesting Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecture at higher genus
Topological strings have been a source of insights and a powerful tool to study many areas of mathematics and physics. One such example is their physical applications to supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. Through the technique of geometric engineering [1], a large class of N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory can be embedded in local Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II...
متن کاملSupersymmetric quiver gauge theories on the lattice
In this paper we detail the lattice constructions of several classes of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories in two and three Euclidean spacetime dimensions possessing exact supersymmetry at finite lattice spacing. Such constructions are obtained through the methods of topological twisting and geometric discretization of Euclidean Yang-Mills theories with eight and sixteen supercharges in two a...
متن کاملGeometric Transitions and D-term SUSY Breaking
We propose a new way of using geometric transitions to study metastable vacua in string theory and certain confining gauge theories. The gauge theories in question are N = 2 supersymmetric theories deformed to N = 1 by superpotential terms. We first geometrically engineer supersymmetry-breaking vacua by wrapping D5 branes on rigid 2-cycles in noncompact Calabi-Yau geometries, such that the cent...
