We investigate the relation between gauge theories and brane configurationsdescribed by brane tilings. We identify U(1)_B (baryonic), U(1)_M (mesonic),and U(1)_R global symmetries in gauge theories with gauge symmetries in thebrane configurations. We also show that U(1)_MU(1)_B^2 and U(1)_RU(1)_B^2 'tHooft anomalies are reproduced as gauge transformations of the classical braneaction.Comment: 41 pages, 6 figure
