NC Geometry and Fractional Branes
Abstract
Considering complex n-dimension Calabi-Yau homogeneous hyper-surfaces % Hn with discrete torsion and using Berenstein and Leigh algebraic geometry method, we study Fractional D-branes that result from stringy resolution of singularities. We first develop the method introduced in hep-th/0105229 and then build the non commutative (NC) geometries for orbifolds O=Hn/Zn+2n with a discrete torsion matrix tab=exp[i2πn+2(ηab-ηba)], ηab ∈ SL(n,Z). We show that the NC manifolds % O(nc) are given by the algebra of functions on the real % (2n+4) Fuzzy torus Tβij2(n+2) with deformation parameters βij=expi2πn+2[(ηab-1-ηba-1) qia qjb] with qia's being charges of % Zn+2n. We also give graphic rules to represent O% (nc) by quiver diagrams which become completely reducible at orbifold singularities. It is also shown that regular points in these NC geometries are represented by polygons with (n+2) vertices linked by (n+2) edges while singular ones are given by (n+2) non connected loops. We study the various singular spaces of quintic orbifolds and analyze the varieties of fractional D branes at singularities as well as the spectrum of massless fields. Explicit solutions for the NC quintic Q(nc) are derived with details and general results for complex n dimension orbifolds with discrete torsion are presented.
