abstract

We consider the type I theory compactified on $T^3$. When the D5-brane wraps the $T^3$ it yields a D2-brane in seven dimensions. In the leading approximation the moduli space of vacua of the three dimensional field theory on the brane is $T^4/\ZZ_2$. The dual M theory description of this theory is a compactification on K3 and our 2-brane is the eleven dimensional 2-brane at a point in K3. We use this fact to conclude that strong coupling IR effects in the three dimensional theory on the brane turn its moduli space into a K3. This interpretation allows us to solve various strongly coupled gauge theories in three dimensions by identifying their Coulomb branch with a piece of a (sometime singular) K3.

    Explicit 11D solutions show flux stabilization of T^4/Z2 moduli in EFT does not match the full theory, with non-Lorentz-invariant deformations stabilizing a mix of volume and shape moduli instead.
