M-Theory and String-String Duality

Abstract

In this article we examine the compatibility of some recent results, results relating M-Theory to String Theory, with the string-string duality conjecture in six-dimensions. In particular, we rederive the relation between M-Theory and Type IIA strings. We then go on to examine in detail M-Theory on K3×S1K3 \times S^{1} and its relation to the Heterotic theory on T4T^{4}. We conclude with some remarks on M-Theory on T4×(S1/Z2)T^{4}\times (S^{1}/{\bf Z}_{2}) and its relation to the Type II theory on K3K3.
