Branes in Special Holonomy Backgrounds

arXiv:hep-th/0203092 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(02)01878-6

Abstract

We study the flow from the theory of D2-branes in a G2 holonomy background to M2-branes in a Spin(7) holonomy background. We consider in detail the UV and IR regimes, and the effect of topology change of the background on the field theory. We conjecture a non-Abelian N=1 mirror symmetry.
