Abstract

We study toric singularities of the form of \C4/\Ga\C^4/\Ga for finite abelian groups \GaSU(4)\Ga \subset SU(4). In particular, we consider the simplest case \Ga=Z2×Z2×Z2\Ga=\Z_2 \times \Z_2 \times \Z_2 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=z42z5z_1 z_2 z_3 z_4=z_5^2, z_1 z_2 z_3=z_4^2 z_5 and z1z2z5=z3z4z_1 z_2 z_5 = z_3 z_4 where ziz_i's parametrize \C5\C^5. When we put NN D1 branes at this singularity, it is known that the field theory on the worldvolume of NN D1 branes is T-dual to 2×2×22 \times 2 \times 2 brane cub model. We analyze geometric interpretation for field theory parameters and moduli space.
