Calculating the spectrum of these theories, we find evidence for an S-duality which relates type I string theory in ten dimensions with n additional ninebrane-antininebrane pairs to heterotic string theory in 10+n dimensions with gauge group SO(32+n). The Kaluza-Klein modes of the supercritical dimensions are dual to non-singlet bound states of open strings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-05-07T02:00:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heterotic string theory", "superstring theory", "gauge group", "dimensions", "ten-dimensional supersymmetric vacuum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 55, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 649851, "adsabs": "2004hep.th....5041H" } } }
