Geometric Constructions of Two Dimensional (0,2) SUSY Theories

Abstract

We consider the field theories on multiple stacks of D5 branes wrapped on four cycles of resolved/deformed conifold geometries fibered over a two torus. The central charges of the D5 branes are slightly misaligned when the branes are wrapped on various rigid holomorphic two cycles or when they have different charges with respect to a magnetic flux turned on the two torus. The wrapped D5 branes preserve (0,2) supersymmetry in two dimensions if the Kahler moduli and the magnetic flux are related. Our geometries are T-dual to the brane configurations considered by Kutasov-Lin and we provide a geometric interpretation for their equality between the field theory D-terms and the magnetic fluxes. We also consider the geometric transitions for rigid holomorphic two cycles fibered over a two torus with magnetic flux and discuss the partial breaking of supersymmetry after the geometric transitions.
