From M-theory to F-theory, with Branes | Clifford V. Johnson
; | Date: |
23 Jun 1997 | Journal: | Nucl.Phys. B507 (1997) 227-244 | Subject: | hep-th | Abstract: | A duality relationship between certain brane configurations in type IIA and type IIB string theory is explored by exploiting the geometrical origins of each theory in M-theory. The configurations are dual ways of realising the non-perturbative dynamics of a four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with four or fewer favours of fermions in the fundamental, and the spectral curve which organizes these dynamics plays a prominent role in each case. This is an illustration of how non-trivial F-theory backgrounds follow from M-theory ones, hopefully demystifying somewhat the origins of the former. | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9706155 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
