The SO(32) Heterotic and Type IIB Membranes
F. Aldabe, A. L. Larsen
Abstract
A two dimensional anomaly cancellation argument is used to construct the SO(32) heterotic and type IIB membranes. By imposing different boundary conditions at the two boundaries of a membrane, we shift all of the two dimensional anomaly to one of the boundaries. The topology of these membranes is that of a 2-dimensional cone propagating in the 11-dimensional target space. Dimensional reduction of these membranes yields the SO(32) heterotic and type IIB strings.
