H-Dyons and S-Duality

Blum, J D

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

We present a relatively simple argument showing that the H-dyon states required by S-duality of the heterotic string on $T^6$ are present provided that the BPS dyons required by S-duality of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are present. We also conjecture and provide evidence that H-dyons at singularities where the nonperturbative gauge symmetry is completely broken are actually BPS dyons.
