New string theories in six dimensions via branes at orbifold singularities (Q1389114): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the author discusses new 6 dimensional \({\mathcal N}=(1,0)\) string theories associated with type II or heterotic five-branes at orbifold singularities in the orthogonal four dimensions. They have compact moduli spaces, associated with tensor multiplets, given by Weyl alcoves of non-Abelian groups. He also discusses \(T\)-duality and matrix model applications upon compactifications.
