Lectures on heterotic-type I duality

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

We present a review of heterotic-type I string duality. In particular, we discuss the effective field theory of six- and four-dimensional compactifications with N > 1 supersymmetries. We then describe various duality tests by comparing gauge couplings, N = 2 prepotentials, as well as higher-derivative F-terms.
