The enhancon mechanism for fractional branes

Abstract
We study the enhancon mechanism for fractional D-branes in conifold and orbifold backgrounds and show how it can resolve the repulson singularity of these geometries. In particular we show that the consistency of the excision process requires that the interior space be not empty. In the orbifold case, we exploit the boundary state formalism to obtain an explicit conformal description and emphasize the non trivial role of the volume of the internal manifold.
