M2-Branes and Fano 3-folds
A class of supersymmetric gauge theories arising from M2-branes probing
Calabi-Yau 4-folds which are cones over smooth toric Fano 3-folds is
investigated. For each model, the toric data of the mesonic moduli space is
derived using the forward algorithm. The generators of the mesonic moduli space
are determined using Hilbert series. The spectrum of scaling dimensions for
chiral operators is computed.Comment: 128 pages, 39 figures, 42 table
3D Seiberg-like Dualities and M2 Branes
We investigate features of duality in three dimensional N=2 Chern-Simons
matter theories conjectured to describe M2 branes at toric Calabi Yau four-fold
singularities. For 3D theories with non-chiral 4D parents we propone a
Seiberg-like duality which turns out to be a toric duality. For theories with
chiral 4D parents we discuss the conditions under which that Seiberg-like
duality leads to toric duality. We comment on such duality in 3D theories
without 4D parents.Comment: 30 pages, 15 figures, JHEP
