Description
Abstract: D-branes probing singular Calabi–Yau threefolds give rise to supersymmetric quiver gauge theories whose moduli space reproduces the local geometry. While powerful techniques exist for toric singularities, no systematic method has been available for the non-toric case. I will present a framework to construct probe-brane theories for compound Du Val (cDV) singularities, based on a Higgs field Φ(w) that encodes the ADE fibration.
