Key Points

  • To explore the R→0 limit of toroidal compactification in string theories and identify new connections between them.
  • Investigated the R→0 limit of toroidal compactification.
  • Analyzed various string theories, including type IIA, IIB, open, and closed strings.
  • Established new connections between distinct string theories: IIA and IIB, open and closed, oriented and unoriented.
  • Identified two new extended objects: Dirichlet-brane and orientifold plane that couple consistently to strings.

Abstract

We consider the R→0 limit of toroidal compactification in various string theories. This leads to new connections between seemingly different string theories: IIA and IIB, open and closed, oriented and unoriented. We also find two new extended objects which can couple consistently to strings: the Dirichlet-brane and the orientifold plane.
