    Branes at \C^4/\Ga Singularity from Toric Geometry

    Full text link
    We study toric singularities of the form of \C^4/\Ga for finite abelian groups \Ga \subset SU(4). In particular, we consider the simplest case \Ga=\Z_2 \times \Z_2 \times \Z_2 and find explicitly charge matrices for partial resolutions of this orbifold by extending the method by Morrison and Plesser. We obtain three kinds of algebraic equations, z1z2z3z4=z52,z1z2z3=z42z5z_1 z_2 z_3 z_4=z_5^2, z_1 z_2 z_3=z_4^2 z_5 and z1z2z5=z3z4z_1 z_2 z_5 = z_3 z_4 where ziz_i's parametrize \C^5. When we put NN D1 branes at this singularity, it is known that the field theory on the worldvolume of NN D1 branes is T-dual to 2Γ—2Γ—22 \times 2 \times 2 brane cub model. We analyze geometric interpretation for field theory parameters and moduli space.Comment: 1 figure, 4 tables, latex file and 26 pages:v1 added mathematical results on projective crepant resolutions by Dais et al and refs added:v2 typos corrected and the beginning paragrphs in section 3 clarifie

    Symmetry of Quantum Torus with Crossed Product Algebra

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the symmetry of quantum torus with the concept of crossed product algebra. As a classical counterpart, we consider the orbifold of classical torus with complex structure and investigate the transformation property of classical theta function. An invariant function under the group action is constructed as a variant of the classical theta function. Then our main issue, the crossed product algebra representation of quantum torus with complex structure under the symplectic group is analyzed as a quantum version of orbifolding. We perform this analysis with Manin's so-called model II quantum theta function approach. The symplectic group Sp(2n,Z) satisfies the consistency condition of crossed product algebra representation. However, only a subgroup of Sp(2n,Z) satisfies the consistency condition for orbifolding of quantum torus.Comment: LaTeX 17pages, changes in section 3 on crossed product algebr

    Morita Equivalence of Noncommutative Supertori

    Full text link
    In this paper we study the extension of Morita equivalence of noncommutative tori to the supersymmetric case. The structure of the symmetry group yielding Morita equivalence appears to be intact but its parameter field becomes supersymmetrized having both body and soul parts. Our result is mainly in the two dimensional case in which noncommutative supertori have been constructed recently: The group SO(2,2,VZ0)SO(2,2,V_{\Z}^0), where VZ0V_{\Z}^0 denotes Grassmann even number whose body part belongs to Z{\Z}, yields Morita equivalent noncommutative supertori in two dimensions.Comment: LaTeX 18 pages, the version appeared in JM

    Quantum Thetas on Noncommutative T^4 from Embeddings into Lattice

    Full text link
    In this paper we investigate the theta vector and quantum theta function over noncommutative T^4 from the embedding of R x Z^2. Manin has constructed the quantum theta functions from the lattice embedding into vector space (x finite group). We extend Manin's construction of the quantum theta function to the embedding of vector space x lattice case. We find that the holomorphic theta vector exists only over the vector space part of the embedding, and over the lattice part we can only impose the condition for Schwartz function. The quantum theta function built on this partial theta vector satisfies the requirement of the quantum theta function. However, two subsequent quantum translations from the embedding into the lattice part are non-additive, contrary to the additivity of those from the vector space part.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, version to appear in J. Phys.
