Stepwise Projection: Toward Brane Setups for Generic Orbifold Singularities
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +1
The construction of brane setups for the exceptional series E6,E7,E8 of SU(2) orbifolds remains an ever-haunting conundrum. Motivated by techniques in some works by Muto on non-Abe…
Discrete Torsion, Covering Groups and Quiver Diagrams
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +1
Without recourse to the sophisticated machinery of twisted group algebras, projective character tables and explicit values of 2-cocycles, we here present a simple algorithm to stud…
Discrete Torsion, Non-Abelian Orbifolds and the Schur Multiplier
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +1
Armed with the explicit computation of Schur Multipliers, we offer a classification of SU(n) orbifolds for n = 2,3,4 which permit the turning on of discrete torsion. This is in res…
(Anti-)Instantons and the Atiyah-Hitchin Manifold
A. Hanany, B. Pioline
The Atiyah-Hitchin manifold arises in many different contexts, ranging from its original occurrence as the moduli space of two SU(2) 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in 3+1 dimensions,…
Mirror symmetry by O3-planes
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany
We construct the three dimensional mirror theory of SO(2k) and SO(2k+1) gauge groups by using O3-planes. An essential ingredient in constructing the mirror is the splitting of a ph…
D-Brane Gauge Theories from Toric Singularities and Toric Duality
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He
Via partial resolution of Abelian orbifolds we present an algorithm for extracting a consistent set of gauge theory data for an arbitrary toric variety whose singularity a D-brane…
On Orientifolds, Discrete Torsion, Branes and M Theory
Amihay Hanany, Barak Kol
We find some lifts to M theory of orientifold and orbifold planes including the O1, O3 and O5 planes of Type IIB and their transformations under SL(2,Z). The possible discrete tors…
