TL;DR
This paper proposes that all known string, M-, and F-theory dualities can be derived from fundamental dualities like type I and SO(32) heterotic string duality, T-dualities, and the definitions of M- and F-theories.
Contribution
It unifies various string dualities by deriving them from core conjectured dualities and the definitions of M- and F-theories.
Findings
All conjectured dualities can be derived from fundamental dualities.
Provides a unified framework for understanding string dualities.
Highlights the central role of type I and heterotic duality.
Abstract
We argue that all conjectured dualities involving various string, M- and F- theory compactifications can be `derived' from the conjectured duality between type I and SO(32) heterotic string theory, T-dualities, and the definition of M- and F- theories.
