Triple Intersections and Geometric Transitions

Abstract

The local neighborhood of a triple intersection of fivebranes in type IIA string theory is shown to be equivalent to type IIB string theory on a noncompact Calabi-Yau fourfold. The phases and the effective theory of the intersection are analyzed in detail.
