On the Strong Coupling Dynamics of heterotic string theory on C/Z3
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic E8 ×E8 string theory on the orbifolds T /Z3 and C /Z3 using the duality with the Horava-Witten M-theory picture. This leads us to a conjecture about the low energy description of the five dimensional E0-theory (the CFT that describes the the singularity region of M-theory on C/Z3) compactified on S /Z2.

String Theory Dynamics in Various Dimensions
The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension d ≥ 4 are studied. It is argued, among other things, that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring, and that a recently conjectured duality between the heterotic string and Type IIA superstrings controls the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic string in five, six, a...
متن کاملCompactifications of F-Theory on Calabi–Yau Threefolds – I
We study compactifications of F-theory on certain Calabi–Yau threefolds. We find that N = 2 dualities of type II/heterotic strings in 4 dimensions get promoted to N = 1 dualities between heterotic string and F-theory in 6 dimensions. The six dimensional heterotic/heterotic duality becomes a classical geometric symmetry of the Calabi–Yau in the F-theory setup. Moreover the F-theory compactificat...
متن کاملOn The Heterotic Dipole At Strong Coupling
We analyse the dipole solution of heterotic string theory in four dimensions. It has the structure of monopole and anti-monopole connected by flux line (string). Due to growing coupling near the poles, the length of the string diverges. However, exploiting the self-duality of heterotic string theory in four dimension, we argue that this string is correctly described in terms of dual variables.
متن کاملA note on the RG flow in (N = 1, D = 4) Supergravity and applications to Z3 orbifold/orientifold compactification
We apply the standard approach of RG flow for the gauge couplings in N=1 D=4 Supergravity to show how to match its results with the heterotic Z3 orbifold and Type IIB Z3 orientifold-based models. Using only supergravity, anomaly cancellation and the requirement of unification we determine the part of the Kähler potential of the model invariant under the symmetries of the model. For heterotic or...
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.
