Geometric dualities in 4d field theories and their 5d interpretation
arXiv:hep-th/0207006 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2003/04/043
Abstract
We study four-dimensional N=1 gauge theories arising on D3-branes probing toric singularities. Toric dualities and flows between theories corresponding to different singularities are analyzed by encoding the geometric information into (p,q) webs. A new method for identifying global symmetries of the four-dimensional theories using the brane webs is developed. Five-dimensional theories are associated to the theories on the D3-branes by using (p,q) webs. This leads to a novel interpretation of Seiberg duality, as crossing curves of marginal stability in five dimensions.
