String dualities from matrix theory

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We suggest that the (2,0) six dimensional field theory compactified on S1imesK3 is the Matrix model description of both M-theory on K3 and the Heterotic string on T3. This proposal is different from existing proposals for the Heterotic theory. Different limits of the base space geometry give the different space-time interpretations, making M-theory/Heterotic duality manifest. We also present partial results on Heterotic/F-theory duality.
