Equivalence of Geometric Engineering and Hanany-Witten via Fractional Branes
arXiv:hep-th/9803232 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(98)00509-4
Abstract
We present an explicit relation between the Hanany-Witten and Geometric Engineering approaches of realising gauge theories in string theory. The last piece in the puzzle is a T-duality relating arbitrary Hanany-Witten setups and fractional branes.
