  • eleven dimensional origin of string string duality a one Loop Test
    Nuclear Physics, 1995
    Co-Authors: M J Duff, Ruben Minasian
    Abstract:

    Abstract Membrane/ fivebrane duality in D = 11 implies Type IIA string/Type IIA fivebrane duality in D = 10, which in turn implies Type HA string/heterotic string duality in D = 6. To Test the conjecture, we reproduce the corrections to the 3-form field equations of the D = 10 Type IIA string (a mixture of tree-level and one-Loop effects) starting from the Chern-Simons corrections to the 7-form Bianchi identities of the D = 11 fivebrane (a purely tree-level effect). K3 compactification of the latter then yields the familiar gauge and Lorentz Chem-Simons corrections to 3-form Bianchi identities of the heterotic string. We note that the absence of a dilaton in the D = 11 theory allows us to fix both the gravitational constant and the fivebrane tension in terms of the membrane tension. We also comment on an apparent conflict between fundamental and solitonic heterotic strings and on the puzzle of a fivebrane origin of S -duality.
