Fractional Branes and Wrapped Branes
arXiv:hep-th/9712230 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/1998/02/013
Abstract
We discuss the ``fractional D-branes'' which arise in orbifold resolution. We argue that they arise as subsectors of the Coulomb branch of the quiver gauge theory used to describe both string theory D-brane and Matrix theory on an orbifold, and thus must form part of the full physical Hilbert space. We make further observations confirming their interpretation as wrapped membranes.
