Open/closed string dualities and Seiberg duality from geometric transitions in M-theory. (English) Zbl 1226.81178

J. High Energy Phys. 2002, No. 8, 026, 26 p. (2002).
Summary: We propose a general method to study open/closed string dualities from transitions in M theory which is valid for a large class of geometrical configurations. By T-duality we can transform geometrically engineered configurations into \(\mathcal N = 1\) brane configurations and study the transitions of the corresponding branes by lifting the configurations to M-theory. We describe the transformed degenerated M5 branes and extract the field theory information on gluino condensation by factorization of the Seiberg-Witten curve. We also include massive flavors and orientifolds and discuss Seiberg duality which appears in this case as a birational flop. After the transition, the Seiberg duality becomes an abelian electric-magnetic duality.
