Aspects of Open-Closed Duality in a Background B-Field II

TL;DR

This paper explores open-closed string duality in noncommutative ${ m extbf{N}=2}$ gauge theory on a fractional D3-brane, showing IR singularities from massless closed strings match one-loop gauge theory results due to massive mode cancellations.

Contribution

It extends previous work on bosonic theories to ${ m extbf{N}=2}$ supersymmetric gauge theories, demonstrating the IR singularity correspondence in a new setup.

Findings

IR singularities from massless closed strings match one-loop gauge theory results

Massive mode contributions cancel out, simplifying the duality analysis

The study confirms open-closed duality in a supersymmetric noncommutative setting

Abstract

It was shown in [hep-th/0503009], in the context of bosonic theory that the IR singular terms that arise as a result of integrating out high momentum modes in nonplanar diagrams of noncommutative gauge theory can be recovered from low lying tree-level closed string exchanges. This follows as a natural consequence of world-sheet open-closed string duality. Here using the same setup we study the phenomenon for noncommutative ${\cal N}=2$ gauge theory realised on a $D_3$ fractional brane localised at the fixed point of $C^2/Z_2$. The IR singularities from the massless closed string exchanges are exactly equal to those coming from one-loop gauge theory. This is as a result of cancellation of all contributions from the massive modes.
