D-brane gauge theories from toric singularities of the form C³/Gamma and C⁴/Gamma

We discuss examples of D-branes probing toric singularities, and the computation of their world-volume gauge theories from the geometric data of the singularities. We consider several such examples of D-branes on partial resolutions of the orbifolds ${\bf C^3/Z_2\times Z_2}$,${\bf C^3/Z_2\times Z_3}$ and ${\bf C^4/Z_2\times Z_2 \times Z_2}$.
