我们研究了箭袋-陈-西蒙斯理论的各个方面,推测其与希格斯下环面卡拉比-丘四重奇点处的 M2 膜对偶。我们特别详细研究了轨道折叠,获得了该模型的许多不同的箭袋-陈-西蒙斯相位,及其所有 18 个复曲面部分分辨率。在此过程中,我们开发了一种通用的非希格斯算法,允许人们通过爆炸来构建箭袋-陈-西蒙斯理论,从而获得大量新模型。此外,我们解释了打开扭转 G 通量如何对希格斯的超引力对偶产生重大影响,表明超引力和场论分析在基于 Sasaki-Einstein 流形的示例中精确匹配。
We study various aspects ofquiver-Chern-Simons theories, conjectured to be dual to M2-branes at toric Calabi-Yau four-fold singularities, under Higgsing. In particular we study in detail the orbifold, obtaining a number of different quiver-Chern-Simons phases for this model, and all 18 toric partial resolutions thereof. In the process we develop a general un-Higgsing algorithm that allows one to construct quiver-Chern-Simons theories by blowing up, thus obtaining a plethora of new models. In addition we explain how turning on torsion G-flux non-trivially affects the supergravity dual of Higgsing, showing that the supergravity and field theory analyses precisely match in an example based on the Sasaki-Einstein manifold.
