Quiver Matrix Mechanics for IIB String Theory (II): Generic Dual Tori, Fractional Matrix Membrane and SL(2,Z) Duality

چکیده
With the deconstruction technique, the geometric information of a torus can be encoded in a sequence of orbifolds. By studying the Matrix Theory on these orbifolds as quiver mechanics, we present a formulation that (de)constructs the torus of generic shape on which Matrix Theory is “compactified”. The continuum limit of the quiver mechanics gives rise to a (1+2)dimensional SYM. A hidden (fourth) dimension, that was introduced before in the Matrix Theory literature to argue for the electric-magnetic duality, can be easily identified in our formalism. We construct membrane wrapping states rigorously in terms of Dunford calculus in the context of matrix regularization. Unwanted degeneracy in the spectrum of the wrapping states is eliminated [email protected] [email protected]

Quiver Matrix Mechanics for IIB String Theory (I): Wrapping Membranes and Emergent Dimension
In this paper we present a discrete, non-perturbative formulation for type IIB string theory. Being a supersymmetric quiver matrix mechanics model in the framework of M(atrix) theory, it is a generalization of our previous proposal of compactification via orbifolding for deconstructed IIA strings. In the continuum limit, our matrix mechanics becomes a (2 + 1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with ...
متن کاملTransmutation of N = 2 fractional D3 branes into twisted sector fluxes
We study the prototype of fractional D3 branes at non-isolated singularities in gauge/gravity duality at the nonperturbative level. We embed the quantum moduli space of N = 2 pure SYM, the gauge theory on fractional D3 branes at the A1 singularity, into that of the cascading quiver gauge theory on regular and fractional D3 branes at the same singularity, for which a gravity dual description exi...
متن کاملSL(2, Z) Multiplets of Type II Superstrings in D < 10
It has been shown recently that the toroidally compactified type IIB string effective action possesses an SL(2, R) invariance. Using this symmetry we construct an infinite family of macroscopic string-like solutions permuted by SL(2, Z) group for type II superstrings in 4 ≤ D < 10. These solutions, which formally look very similar to the corresponding solutions in D = 10, are characterized by t...
متن کاملHanany-Witten effect and SL(2,Z) dualities in matrix models
We provide tests of dualities for three-dimensional N = 4 quiver SCFTs with brane realizations in IIB string theory, by matching their exact partition functions on S3. The dualities are generated by SL(2,Z) transformations and Hanany-Witten 5-brane moves. These contain mirror symmetry as well as dualities identifiying fixed points of Yang-Mills quivers and Chern-Simons theories. The partition f...
متن کاملHeterotic-Type II String Duality and the H-Monopole Problem
Since T-duality has been proved only perturbatively and most of the heterotic states map into solitonic, non-perturbative, type II states, the 6-dimensional string-string duality between the heterotic string and the type II string is not sufficient to prove the S-duality of the former, in terms of the known T-duality of the latter. We nevertheless show in detail that the perturbative T-duality,...
