These effects can perturb the effective field theory on the space-filling branes by nontrivial operators composed of charged matter fields, changing the vacuum structure in a qualitative way in some examples. Our considerations are exemplified throughout by a careful study of a fractional brane configuration on a del Pezzo surface.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-05-23T19:11:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quiver gauge theories", "stringy instantons", "del pezzo surface", "fractional brane configuration", "euclidean d3 branes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2007, "month": "May", "volume": 2007, "number": 5, "pages": "024" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 727612, "adsabs": "2007JHEP...05..024F" } } }
