Putting String/string Duality to the Test
After simultaneous compactification of spacetime and worldvolume onK3, theD = 10 heterotic fivebrane with gauge group SO(32) behaves like a D = 6 heterotic string with gauge group SO(28)× SU(2), but with Kac–Moody levels different from those of the fundamental string. Thus the string/fivebrane duality conjecture in D = 10 gets replaced by a string/string duality conjecture in D = 6. Since D = 6...
متن کاملA One-Loop Test of String Duality
We test type IIA-heterotic string duality in six dimensions by showing that the sigma model anomaly of the heterotic string is generated by a combination of a tree level and a string one-loop correction on the type IIA side.
متن کاملPutting Liouville String Models of (Quantum) Gravity to Test
Critical String Theory is by definition an S-matrix theory. In this sense, (quantum) gravity situations where a unitary S-matrix may not be a well-defined concept, as a consequence of the existence of macroscopic (global) or microscopic (local) gravitational fluctuations with event horizons, present a challenge to string theory. In this article, we take some modest steps in suggesting alternati...
متن کاملString-string Duality in Ten Dimensions
The heterotic string occurs as a soliton of the type I superstring in ten dimensions, supporting the conjecture that these two theories are equivalent. The conjecture that the type IIB string is self-dual, with the strong coupling dynamics described by a dual type IIB theory, is supported by the occurrence of the dual string as a Ramond-Ramond soliton of the weakly-coupled theory.
متن کاملTopological Partition Function and String-String Duality
The evidence for string/string-duality can be extended from the matching of the vector couplings to gravitational couplings. In this note this is shown in the rank three example, the closest stringy analog of the Seiberg/Witten-setup, which is related to the Calabi-Yau WP 4 1,1,2,2,6(12). I provide an exact analytical verification of a relation checked by coefficient comparison to fourth order ...
