Evidence for heterotic — Type I string duality
Open accessAbstract
Abstract A study is made of the implications of heterotic string T -duality and extended gauge symmetry for the conjectured equivalence of heterotic and Type I superstrings. While at first sight heterotic string world-sheet dynamics appears to conflict with Type I perturbation theory, a closer look shows that Type I perturbation theory “miraculously” breaks down, in some cases via novel mechanisms, whenever the heterotic string has massless particles not present in Type I perturbation theory. This strongly suggests that the two theories actually are equivalent. As further evidence in the same direction, we show that the Dirichlet one-brane of Type I string theory has the same world-sheet structure as the heterotic string.

“In the process, beyond making a proposal for how the E8 × E8 heterotic string is related to the M -theory, we will make a proposal for relating the classical symmetries of the M -theory to the conjectured heterotic - Type I string duality in ten dimensions [1,7-9], much as the classical symmetries of theM theory have…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
