Abstract

We study D-branes on smooth noncompact toric Calabi-Yau manifolds that are resolutions of abelian orbifold singularities. Such a space has a distinguished basis Si for the compactly supported K-theory. Using local mirror symmetry we demonstrate that the Si have simple transformation properties under monodromy; in particular, they are the objects that generate monodromy around the principal component of the discriminant locus. One of our examples, the toric resolution of C3/(Z2 x Z2), is a three parameter model for which we are able to give an explicit solution of the GKZ system.
