Duality In Matrix Theory And Three Dimensional Mirror Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
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 enhancement at special points in the moduli space.

Tunable Defect Mode in One-Dimensional Ternary Nanophotonic Crystal with Mirror Symmetry
In this paper, the properties of the defect mode in the photonic band gap ofone-dimensional ternary photonic crystals containing high temperature superconductorlayer (SPCs) have been theoretically investigated. We considered the quasi-periodiclayered structures by choosing two order of ternary Thue-Morse structures with mirrorsymmetry. We investigated the transmission spectra of these structure...
متن کاملSeiberg duality in three dimensions
We analyze three dimensional gauge theories with Sp gauge group. We find that in some regime the theory should be described in terms of a dual theory, very much in the spirit of Seiberg duality in four dimensions. This duality does not coincide with mirror symmetry. ∗Work supported by DFG
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 in Three - Dimensional Gauge Theories , SL ( 2 , Z ) and D - Brane Moduli Spaces
We construct intersecting D-brane configurations that encode the gauge groups and field content of dual N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. The duality which exchanges the Coulomb and Higgs branches and the Fayet-Iliopoulos and mass parameters is derived from the SL(2, Z) symmetry of the type IIB string. Using the D-brane configurations we construct explicitly this mirror m...
متن کاملTowards Mirror Symmetry as Duality for Two Dimensional Abelian Gauge Theories
Superconformal sigma models with Calabi–Yau target spaces described as complete intersection subvarieties in toric varieties can be obtained as the low-energy limit of certain abelian gauge theories in two dimensions. We formulate mirror symmetry for this class of Calabi–Yau spaces as a duality in the abelian gauge theory, giving the explicit mapping relating the two Lagrangians. The duality re...
