Abstract

We study the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic E8 x E8 string theory on the orbifolds T6/Z3 and C3/Z3 using the duality with the Horava-Witten M-theory picture. This leads us to a conjecture about the low energy description of the five dimensional E0-theory (the CFT that describes the the singularity region of M-theory on C3/Z3) compactified on S1/Z2.
