TL;DR
This paper explores the duality between type IIB superstring theory and a conjectured 11-dimensional M theory, relating p-branes and their tensions through heuristic reasoning, and connecting M theory with type IIA superstring theory.
Contribution
It proposes a consistent duality framework linking type IIB superstring theory, M theory, and type IIA superstring theory, elucidating relations among p-branes and their tensions.
Findings
Heuristic reasoning supports the duality between theories.
Relations among p-branes and their tensions are established.
Connections between M theory and type IIA superstring theory are clarified.
Abstract
A proposed duality between type IIB superstring theory on R^9 X S^1 and a conjectured 11D fundamental theory (``M theory'') on R^9 X T^2 is investigated. Simple heuristic reasoning leads to a consistent picture relating the various p-branes and their tensions in each theory. Identifying the M theory on R^{10} X S^1 with type IIA superstring theory on R^{10}, in a similar fashion, leads to various relations among the p-branes of the IIA theory.
