Abstract: By analyzing -theory on near the orbifold limit of we establish the equivalence between -theory on and an orientifold of type IIB on , which in turn, is related by a T-duality transformation to type I theory on . By analyzing the -theory background away from the orbifold limit, we show that non-perturbative effects in the orientifold theory splits an orientifold plane into two planes, with non-trivial SL(2,Z) monodromy around each of them. The mathematical description of this phenomenon is identical to the Seiberg-Witten result for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory with four quark flavors. Points of enhanced gauge symmetry in the orientifold / -theory are in one to one correspondence with the points of enhanced global symmetry in the Seiberg-Witten theory.
