Supermembranes with fewer supersymmetries
M. J. Duff, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +1
The usual supermembrane solution of supergravity interpolates between and , has symmetry and preserves of the space…
Electric/magnetic duality and its stringy origins
M. J. Duff
We review electric/magnetic duality in (and certain ) globally supersymmetric gauge theories and show how this duality, which relates strong to weak coupling, follows as…
Four Dimensional String/String/String Triality
M. J. Duff, James T. Liu, J. Rahmfeld
In six spacetime dimensions, the heterotic string is dual to a Type string. On further toroidal compactification to four spacetime dimensions, the heterotic string acquires a…
Eleven Dimensional Origin of String/String Duality: A One Loop Test
M. J. Duff, James T. Liu, R. Minasian
Membrane/fivebrane duality in D=11 implies Type IIA string/Type IIA fivebrane duality in D=10, which in turn implies Type IIA string/heterotic string duality in D=6. To test the co…
Supersymmetry and Dual String Solitons
M. J. Duff, Sergio Ferrara, Ramzi R. Khuri +1
We present new classes of string-like soliton solutions in (; ), (; ) and (; ) heterotic string theory. Connections are made between the solution-gen…
Strong/Weak Coupling Duality from the Dual String
M. J. Duff
On compactification to six spacetime dimensions, the fundamental heterotic string admits as a soliton a dual string whose effective worldsheet action couples to the background fiel…
