On the strongly coupled heterotic string

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We analyze in detail the anomaly cancellation conditions for the strongly coupled E₈ x E₈ heterotic string introduced by Horava and Witten and find new features compared to the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz mechanism. We project onto ten dimensions the corresponding Lagrangian of the zero-mode fields. We find that it has a simple interpretation provided by the conjectured heterotic string/fivebrane duality. The part which originates from eleven-dimensions is naturally described in fivebrane language. We discuss physical couplings and scales in four dimensions.
