TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary of the anti-deSitter space analogous to a cut-off on the Liouville coordinate of the two-dimensional string theory is introduced to obtain certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory.

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.

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.
2,373 citations
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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered string propagation on the quotient of a flat torus by a discrete group and obtained an exactly soluble and more or less realistic method of string compactification.
