摘要
We study local mirror symmetry on non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds (conifold type of singularities) in the presence of D3 brane probes. Using an intermediate brane setup of NS 5-branes 'probed' by D-branes, we can explicitly T-dualize three isometry directions to relate a non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold to its local mirror. Both intervals and boxes of NS 5-branes appear as brane setups. Going from one to the other is equivalent to performing a conifold transition in the dual geometry. One result of our investigation is that the brane box constructions, as they have been discussed so far, should be modified. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
