چکیده
We construct the heterotic dual theory in four dimensions of eleven dimensional supergravity compactified on a particular Joyce manifold, J. In particular J is constructed from resolving fixed point singular-ities of orbifolds of the seven-torus in such a way that one is forced to consider a generalised orbifold compactification on the heterotic side. We conjecture that a heterotic dual exists for all the compact 7-manifolds of G 2 holonomy constructed by Joyce.

Target space duality symmetries, which acts on Kähler and continuous Wilson line moduli, of a Z N (N = 2) 2-dimensional subspace of the moduli space of orbifold compactification are modified to include twisted moduli. These spaces described by the cosets SU (n,1) SU (n)×U (1) are special Kähler, a fact which is exploited in deriving the extension of tree level duality transformation to include ...

Imperial/TP/98–99/24 hep-th/9812086 D = 11 supergravity possesses D = 5 Calabi-Yau compactified solutions that may be identified with the vacua of the Hořava-Witten orbifold construction for M–theory/heterotic duality. The simplest of these solutions naturally involves two 3-brane domain walls, which may be identified with the orbifold boundary planes; this solution also possesses an unbroken Z...

We are discussing the S & T duality for special class of heterotic string configurations. This class of solutions includes various types of black hole solutions and Taub-NUT geometries. It allows a self-dual point for both dualities which corresponds to massless configurations. As string state this point corresponds to N R = 1/2 and N L = 0. The string/string duality is shortly discussed.

It is argued that M-theory compactifications on any of Joyce's Spin(7) holonomy 8-manifolds are dual to compactifications of het-erotic string theory on Joyce 7-manifolds of G 2 holonomy.
متن کاملN = 1 Heterotic / M - theory Duality and Joyce Manifolds
We present an ansatz which enables us to construct heterotic/M-theory dual pairs in four dimensions. It is checked that this ansatz reproduces previous results and that the massless spectra of the proposed new dual pairs agree. The new dual pairs consist of M-theory compactifications on Joyce manifolds of G 2 holonomy and Calabi-Yau compactifications of heterotic strings. These results are furt...
