On Orientifold Constructions of Type IIA Dual Pairs

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the earlier constructions of the type IIA dual pairs through orientifolding. By an appropriate choice of $\Gamma$-matrix basis for the spinor representations of the $U$-duality group, we give an explicit relationship between the orientifold models and their dual pairs.
