STRINGY EVIDENCE FOR D=11 STRUCTURE IN STRONGLY COUPLED TYPE II-A SUPERSTRING

arXiv:hep-th/9503228 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.52.3567

Abstract

Witten proposed that the low energy physics of strongly coupled D=10 type-IIA superstring may be described by D=11 supergravity. To explore the stringy aspects of the underlying theory we examine the stringy massive states. We propose a systematic formula for identifying non-perturbative states in D=10 type-IIA superstring theory, such that, together with the elementary excited string states, they form D=11 supersymmetric multiplets multiplets in SO(10) representations. This provides hints for the construction of a weakly coupled D=11 theory that is dual to the strongly coupled D=10 type IIA superstring.
