Abstract
We formulate the effective field theory of a D-particle on orbifolds of by a cyclic group as a gauge theory in a -bundle over the dual orbifold. We argue that this theory admits Fayet-Iliopoulos terms analogous to those present in the case of noncompact orbifolds. In the case, we present some evidence that turning on such terms resolves the orbifold singularities and may lead to a surface realized as a blow up of the fixed points of the cyclic group action.
