abstract

We propose that the ten-dimensional $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string is related to an eleven-dimensional theory on the orbifold ${\bf R}^{10}\times {\bf S}^1/{\bf Z}_2$ in the same way that the Type IIA string in ten dimensions is related to ${\bf R}^{10}\times {\bf S}^1$. This in particular determines the strong coupling behavior of the ten-dimensional $E_8\times E_8$ theory. It also leads to a plausible scenario whereby duality between $SO(32)$ heterotic and Type I superstrings follows from the classical symmetries of the eleven-dimensional world, just as the $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ duality of the ten-dimensional Type IIB theory follows from eleven-dimensional diffeomorphism invariance.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    TransPlanckian Censorship forces dark-dimension inflation into a narrow one-dimension window with a pre-inflationary phase and suppresses tensor modes to r < 10^-10.

    Under a duality symmetry assumption, minimal supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets in D=8 is uniquely fixed in the BPS sector by anomaly cancellation, uplifts, and gauge enhancement.
