Heterotic-Type II String Duality and the H-Monopole Problem
Since T-duality has been proved only perturbatively and most of the heterotic states map into solitonic, non-perturbative, type II states, the 6-dimensional string-string duality between the heterotic string and the type II string is not sufficient to prove the S-duality of the former, in terms of the known T-duality of the latter. We nevertheless show in detail that the perturbative T-duality,...
متن کاملDual Pairs of Type II String Compactification
Using a U -duality symmetry of type II compactification on T 4 represented by triality action on the T -duality group, and applying the adiabatic argument we construct dual pairs of type II compactifications in lower dimensions. The simplicity of this construction makes it an ideal set up for testing various conjectures about string dualities. In some of these models the type II string has a pe...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Nonsupersymmetric Type II String Compactifications
It has recently been proposed that certain nonsupersymmetric type II orbifolds have vanishing perturbative contributions to the cosmological constant. We show that techniques of Sen and Vafa allow one to construct dual type II descriptions of these models (some of which have no weakly coupled heterotic dual). The dual type II models are given by the same orbifolds with the string coupling S and...
متن کاملK3–Fibrations and Heterotic-Type II String Duality
We analyze the map between heterotic and type II N=2 supersymmetric string theories for certain two and three moduli examples found by Kachru and Vafa. The appearance of elliptic j-functions can be traced back to specializations of the Picard-Fuchs equations to systems for K3 surfaces. For the three-moduli example we write the mirror maps and Yukawa couplings in the weak coupling limit in terms...
متن کاملFluxes in Heterotic and Type II String Compactifications
In this paper we consider heterotic compactifications on K3 × T as well as type II compactifications on K3-fibred Calabi-Yau spaces with certain fluxes for the gauge and RR field strengths F and H turned on. By providing an identification of corresponding fluxes we show that the well-known N = 2 heterotic/type II string-string duality still holds for a subset of all possible fluxes, namely thos...
