Consistency Conditions for Branes at Orbifold Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss consistency conditions for branes at orbifold singularities. The conditions have a world-sheet interpretation in terms of tadpole cancellation and a space-time interpretation in terms of anomalies. As examples, we consider type II and type I branes on C /ZM orbifolds. We give orientifold constructions of phases of type I or heterotic string theory, involving branches with extra tensor multiplets, which arise when small SO(32) instantons sit on orbifold singularities.

Branes at Angles and Resolution of Orbifold Singularities
We show that the description of D-branes near an orbifold singularity exactly coincides with that of two branes at angles. We use this observation to study string theory on orbifolds, and resolve these singularities. In addition, we consider the compact manifolds with orbifold type singularities and study branes wrapped on these manifolds through the “branes at angles” picture. In this way we p...
متن کاملNew Phases of String Theory and 6d RG Fixed Points via Branes at Orbifold Singularities
We discuss type II and type I branes at general ADE type orbifold singularities. We show that there are new phases of type I or heterotic string theory in six dimensions, involving extra tensor multiplets, which arise when small instantons sit on orbifold singularities. The theories with extra tensor multiplets are explicitly constructed via orientifolds. The world-volume theories in type IIB o...
متن کاملNeveu-Schwarz Five-Branes at Orbifold Singularities and Holography
We consider Type IIB Neveu-Schwarz five-branes transverse to C/Zn orbifolds and conjecture that string theory on the near horizon geometry is dual to the decoupled theory on the branes. We analyze the conformal field theory describing the near horizon region and the world volume non-critical string theory. The modular invariance consistency condition of string theory is exactly reproduced as th...
متن کاملD-branes on Singularities: New Quivers from Old
In this paper we present simplifying techniques which allow one to compute the quiver diagrams for various D-branes at (non-Abelian) orbifold singularities with and without discrete torsion. The main idea behind the construction is to take the orbifold of an orbifold. Many interesting discrete groups fit into an exact sequence N → G → G/N . As such, the orbifold M/G is easier to compute as (M/N...
متن کاملBranes at Orbifolded Conifold Singularities and Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theories
We consider D3 branes at orbifolded conifold singularities which are not quotient singularities. We use toric geometry and gauged linear sigma model to study the moduli space of the gauge theories on the D3 branes. We find that topologically distinct phases are related by a flop transition. It is also shown that an orbifold singularity can occur in some phases if we give expectation values to s...
