Fractional branes on ALE orbifolds

چکیده
We derive the classical type IIB supergravity solution describing fractional D3-branes transverse to a C 2 /Γ orbifold singularity, for Γ any Kleinian ADE subgroup. This solution fully describes the N = 2 gauge theory with appropriate gauge groups and matter living on the branes, up to non-perturbative instanton contributions.

Classical geometry and gauge duals for fractional branes on ALE orbifolds
We investigate the classical geometry corresponding to a collection of fractional D3 branes in the orbifold limit C 2 /Γ of an ALE space. We discuss its interpretation in terms of the world-volume gauge theory on the branes, which is in general a non conformal N = 2 Yang-Mills theory with matter. The twisted fields reproduce the perturbative behaviour of the gauge theory. We regulate the IR sin...
متن کاملFractional D3-branes in diverse backgrounds
In the first part of this article, we find fractional D3-branes supergravity solutions on orientifolded C/Z2 orbifolds of type IIB string theory. The one-loop corrected gauge couplings for the symplectic or orthogonal groups living on the D-branes are reproduced on the world-volume of probes. In the second part of the paper, we construct a D3-brane solution on the two-centers Taub-NUT manifold ...
متن کاملRamond-ramond Fields, Fractional Branes and Orbifold Differential K-theory
We study D-branes and Ramond-Ramond fields on global orbifolds of Type II string theory with vanishing H-flux using methods of equivariant K-theory and K-homology. We illustrate how Bredon equivariant cohomology naturally realizes stringy orbifold cohomology. We emphasize its role as the correct cohomological tool which captures known features of the low-energy effective field theory, and which...
متن کاملDon’t Panic! Closed String Tachyons in ALE Spacetimes
We consider closed string tachyons localized at the fixed points of noncompact non-supersymmetric orbifolds. We argue that tachyon condensation drives these orbifolds to flat space or supersymmetric ALE spaces. The decay proceeds via an expanding shell of dilaton gradients and curvature which interpolates between two regions of distinct angular geometry. The string coupling remains weak through...
متن کاملString Creation and Monodromy from Fractional D-branes on ALE spaces
We investigate the anomalous creation of fundamental strings using the boundary state formalism of fractional D-branes on ALE spaces in the orbifold limit. The open string Witten index plays a crucial role in this calculation and so the result remains unchanged even if we blow up the orbifold geometrically, matching the anomaly inflow argument. Further we consider the quiver gauge theories on s...
