Type IIA Orientifold Limit of M-Theory on Compact Joyce 8-Manifold of Spin(7)-Holonomy
arXiv:hep-th/0109076 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2002/01/048
Abstract
We show that M-theory compactified on a compact Joyce 8-manifold of -holonomy, which yields an effective theory in with = 1 supersymmetry, admits at some special points in it moduli space a description in terms of type IIA theory on an orientifold of compact Joyce 7-manifold of -holonomy. We find the evidence in favour of this duality by computing the massless spectra on both M-thory side and type IIA side. For the latter, we compute the massless spectra by going to the orbifold limit of the Joyce 7-manifold.
