Toric resolutions of non compact orbifolds for M-theory

We study the toric resolutions of the non-compact orbifolds (\mathbb{C}^3/\mathbb{Z}_N), focusing on the (\mathbb{C}^3/\mathbb{Z}_4), (\mathbb{C}^3/\mathbb{Z}_5), and (\mathbb{C}^3/\mathbb{Z}_7) examples, and their fixed loci under complex conjugation. We determine the geometry of these fixed sets and examine how toric resolutions encode the emergence of physical degrees of freedom in M-theory.
