Abstract:
Recently it was conjectured that parallel branes at conical singularities are related to string/M theory on where is an Einstein manifold. In this paper we consider coincident M2 branes near a conifold singularity when M theory is compactified on where is a seven dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifold. We argue that M theory on can be described in terms of a three dimensional superconformal field theory.We use the fact that the three dimensional self-mirror duality is preserved by exact marginal operators, as observed by Strassler.- field theory: conformal
- membrane model
- conifold: singularity
- M-theory
- supersymmetry
- horizon
