Heterotic and Type I String Dynamics from Eleven Dimensions
We propose that the ten-dimensional E8 × E8 heterotic string is related to an elevendimensional theory on the orbifold R × S/Z2 in the same way that the Type IIA string in ten dimensions is related to R × S. This in particular determines the strong coupling behavior of the ten-dimensional E8 × E8 theory. It also leads to a plausible scenario whereby duality between SO(32) heterotic and Type I s...
متن کاملPerturbative Prepotential and Monodromies in N =2 Heterotic Superstring
We discuss the prepotential describing the effective field theory of N =2 heterotic superstring models. At the one loop-level the prepotential develops logarithmic sin-gularities due to the appearance of charged massless states at particular surfaces in the moduli space of vector multiplets. These singularities modify the classical duality symmetry group which now becomes a representation of th...
متن کاملThe Sirens of Eleven Dimensions
While most theorists are tied to the mast of four dimensions, some have found it irresistible to speculate about eleven dimensions, the domain of M-theory. We outline a program which starts from the light-cone description of supergravity, and tracks its divergences to suggest the existence of an infinite component theory which in the light-cone relies on the coset F4/SO(9), long known to be lin...
متن کاملEleven Dimensions from the Massive D-2-brane
We find an eleven dimensional description of the D-2-brane of the massive type IIA theory as a first step towards an understanding of this theory in eleven dimensions. By means of a world-volume IIA/M theory duality transformation we show that the massive D-2-brane is equivalent to the dimensional reduction of the eleven dimensional membrane coupled to an auxiliary vector field. The role of thi...
متن کاملOne Loop in Eleven Dimensions
Four-graviton scattering in eleven-dimensional supergravity is considered at one loop compactified on one, two and three-dimensional tori. The dependence on the toroidal geometry determines the known perturbative and non-perturbative terms in the corresponding processes in type II superstring theories in ten, nine and eight dimensions. The ultraviolet divergence must be regularized so that it h...
