Worldsheet descriptions of wrapped NS five-branes

We provide a world-sheet description of Neveu-Schwarz five-branes wrapped on a complex projective space. It is an orbifold of the product of an Script N = 2 minimal model and the IR fixed point of a certain linear sigma model. We show how the naked singularity in the supergravity description is resolved by the world-sheet CFT. Applying mirror symmetry, we show that the low-energy theory of NS5-branes wrapped on Bbb CBbb P1 in Eguchi-Hanson space is described by the Seiberg-Witten prepotential for Script N = 2 super-Yang-Mills, with the gauge group given by the ADE-type of the five-brane. The world-sheet CFT is generically regular, but singularities develop precisely at the Argyres-Douglas points and massless monopole points of the space-time theory. We also study the low-energy theory of NS5-branes wrapped on Bbb CBbb P2 in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and its relation to (2,2) super-Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions.
