Abstract

We study toric singularities of the form of ℂ4/T for finite abelian groups Γ ⊂ SU(4). In particular, we consider the simplest case Γ = ℤ2 × ℤ2 × ℤ2 and find explicitly charge matrices for partial resolutions of this orbifold by extending the method by Morrison and Plesser. We obtain three kinds of algebraic equations, z1z2z3z4 = z52, z1z2z3 = z42z5 and z1z2z5 = z3z4 where zi's parametrize ℂ5. When we put N D1 branes at this singularity, it is known that the field theory on the worldvolume of N D1 branes is T-dual to 2 × 2 × 2 brane cub model. We analyze geometric interpretation for field theory parameters and moduli space.
