(E₈ × E₈)

subject fact

heterotic e-string theory has synonym E₈ × E₈ has source: Greene, B. 1999 The Elegant Universe, W.W. Norton and Co., New York, 2001-09-27 09:33:59.0
has definition One of the five superstring theories; involves closed strings whose right-moving vibrations resemble those of the Type II string and whose left-moving vibrations involve those of the bosonic string. Differs in important but subtle ways from the Heterotic-O string theory. has source: Greene, B. 1999 The Elegant Universe, W.W. Norton and Co., New York, 2001-09-27 09:33:59.0
