Non-Abelian Conifold Transitions and N = 4 Dualities in Three Dimensions

Non-Abelian Conifold Transitions and N = 4 Dualities in Three Dimensions

We show how the Higgs mechanism for non-abelian N = 2 gauge theories in four dimensions is geometrically realized in the context of type II strings as transitions among compactifications of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use this result and T-duality of a further compacitification on a circle to derive N = …
