Brane Brick Models for Fano 3-Folds and Ypk Manifolds

Regular Seminar Rak-Kyeong Seong (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology)

at:
14:00 IC
room B1004
abstract:

In this talk, I will discuss the construction of 2d (0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories corresponding to the 18 smooth Fano 3-folds and the families of Y^(p,k)(CP1xCP1) and Y^(p,k)(CP2) Sasaki-Einstein 7-manifolds. These 2d (0,2) gauge theories can be considered as the worldvolume theories of D1-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. The talk will illustrate how the map between gauge theory and the corresponding geometry is considerably simplified by a Type IIA brane configuration called brane brick models.
