TLDR
In this paper, the authors derive the T -duality transformations that transform a general d = 10 solution of the type IIA string with one isometry to a solution of a type IIB string with two isometry and vice versa.About:

Heterotic and type I string dynamics from eleven-dimensions
Petr Horava,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the ten-dimensional E 8 × E 8 heterotic string is related to an eleven-dimensional theory on the orbifold R 10 × S 1 / Z 2.

All supersymmetric solutions of minimal supergravity in five- dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, all purely bosonic supersymmetric solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions are classified, and explicit examples of new solutions are given, including a large family of plane-fronted waves and a maximally superymmetric analogue of the Godel universe which lifts to a solution of 11-dimensional supergravity that preserves 20 supersymmetries.

Flux Compactification
Michael R. Douglas,Shamit Kachru +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the landscape of string and M theory vacua can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the potential for testable consequences of this picture, such as observable effects of moduli, constraints on early cosmology, and predictions for the scale of supersymmetry breaking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix string theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the perturbative string states and their interactions, and describe the appearance of D-particle and D-membrane states, and present evidence that supports their identification.

Gravity duals of supersymmetric SU(N)×SU(N+M) gauge theories
TL;DR: In this article, the supergravity dual of this theory was constructed to leading non-trivial order in M/N : it is the AdS5×T1,1 background with NS-NS and R-R 2-form fields turned on.

String theory dynamics in various dimensions
TL;DR: The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension d ⩾ 4 are studied in this paper, where it is argued that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unity of superstring dualities
Chris Hull,Paul K. Townsend +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the effective action for type II string theory compactified on a six-torus is N = 8 supergravity, which is known to have an E7 duality symmetry.

How to get masses from extra dimensions
Joel Scherk,John H. Schwarz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized method of dimensional reduction, applicable to theories in curved space, is described, where the extra dimensions are related to the manifold of a Lie group and the resulting theory has no cosmological constant, a well-behaved potential, and a number of arbitrary mass parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Target space duality in string theory
TL;DR: In this paper, target space duality and discrete symmetries in string theory are reviewed in different settings, and the authors present a generalization of the duality to string theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
A symmetry of the string background field equations
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of duality transformations on the geometries of a subclass of two-dimensional sigma-models was investigated, and it was shown that duality preserves quantum conformal invariance at order [α′]0, where α′ is the string tension parameter, provided the change induced by duality is accompanied by a shift in the dilaton field.
