Topological Quiver Matrix Models and Quantum Foam

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the matrix models that describe the BPS bound states of branes arising from the quiver picture of the derived category. These theories have a topological partition function that localizes to the Euler character of the anti-ghost bundle over the classical BPS moduli space. We examine the effective internal geometry of D6/D2 bound states in the local vertex geometry, using BPS 0-brane probes. The Kahler blowups of the Calabi-Yau that we find utilizing these quiver theories are a realization of A-model quantum foam in the full IIA theory.
