A One-Loop Test Of String Duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-07 v1

Abstract

We test type IIA-heterotic string duality in six dimensions by showing that the sigma model anomaly of the heterotic string is generated by a combination of a tree level and a string one-loop correction on the type IIA side.
