Brane dimers and quiver gauge theories
Open accessAbstract
We describe a technique which enables one to quickly compute an infinite number of toric geometries and their dual quiver gauge theories. The central object in this construction is a ``brane tiling,'' which is a collection of D5-branes ending on an NS5-brane wrapping a holomorphic curve that can be represented as a periodic tiling of the plane. This construction solves the longstanding problem of computing superpotentials for D-branes probing a singular non-compact toric Calabi-Yau manifold, and overcomes many difficulties which were encountered in previous work. The brane tilings give the largest class of = 1 quiver gauge theories yet studied. A central feature of this work is the relation of these tilings to dimer constructions previously studied in a variety of contexts. We do many examples of computations with dimers, which give new results as well as confirm previous computations. Using our methods we explicitly derive the moduli space of the entire Yp,q family of quiver theories, verifying that they correspond to the appropriate geometries. Our results may be interpreted as a generalization of the McKay correspondence to non-compact 3-dimensional toric Calabi-Yau manifolds.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
