D0-brane realizations of the resolution of a reduced singular curve
Abstract
Based on examples from superstring/D-brane theory since the work of Douglas and Moore on resolution of singularities of a superstring target-space via a D-brane probe, the richness and the complexity of the stack of punctual D0-branes on a variety, and as a guiding question, we lay down a conjecture that any resolution of a variety over can be factored through an embedding of into the stack of punctual D0-branes of rank on for in , where depends on the germ of singularities of . We prove that this conjecture holds for the resolution of a reduced singular curve over . In string-theoretical language, this says that the resolution of a singular curve always arises from an appropriate D0-brane aggregation on and that the rank of the Chan-Paton module of the D0-branes involved can be chosen to be arbitrarily large.
