TLDR
In this paper, the implications of T -duality and extended gauge symmetry for the conjectured equivalence of heterotic and Type I superstrings were studied. But the results of the study were limited to the Dirichlet one-brane of Type I string theory.About:

New dimensions at a millimeter to a Fermi and superstrings at a TeV
TL;DR: In this article, a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem has been proposed which does not rely on low energy supersymmetry or technicolor, and this framework can be embedded in string theory.

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.

Modeling the fifth dimension with scalars and gravity
TL;DR: In this article, a method for obtaining solutions to the classical equations for scalars plus gravity in five dimensions is applied to some recent suggestions for brane-world phenomenology, which involves only first order differential equations.

Four-dimensional string compactifications with D-branes, orientifolds and fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review article provides a pedagogical introduction to various classes of chiral string compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes with the main concern being to provide all necessary technical tools to explicitly construct four-dimensional orientifold vacua, with the final aim to come as close as possible to the supersymmetric standard model.

Dirichlet Branes and Ramond-Ramond charges.
TL;DR: It is shown that D-branes, extended objects defined by mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, break half the supersymmetries of the type II superstring and carry a complete set of electric and magnetic Ramond-Ramond charges.

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.

New Connections Between String Theories
TL;DR: In this article, the R→0 limit of toroidal compactification in various string theories is considered and connections between seemingly different string theories: IIA and IIB, open and closed, oriented and unoriented.

String Solitons
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of solitons in superstring theory is reviewed, with a view to understanding the strong coupling regime of strong coupling, and the authors compare solitonic solutions to elementary and elementary solutions of the field equations.
