E_8 x E_8 Small Instantons in Matrix Theory
David A. Lowe
A formulation of new six-dimensional theories with (1,0) supersymmetry and E_8 global symmetry is proposed. The model is based on the large n theory describing n D-strings interact…
N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories, Branes and Orientifolds
Karl Landsteiner, Esperanza Lopez, David A. Lowe
Starting with configurations of fourbranes, fivebranes, sixbranes and orientifolds in Type IIA string theory we derive via M-theory the curves solving N=2 supersymmetric gauge theo…
Heterotic Matrix String Theory
David A. Lowe
M-theory suggests the large N limit of the matrix description of a collection of N Type IA D-particles should provide a nonperturbative formulation of heterotic string theory. In t…
Bound States of Type I' D-particles and Enhanced Gauge Symmetry
David A. Lowe
Duality between the E_8 x E_8 heterotic string and Type I' theory predicts a tower of D(irichlet)-particle bound states corresponding to perturbative heterotic string states. In th…
