heterotic string theory superstring theory Gross's version of string theory in which space-times of different dimensions are associated with the same closed loop.

heterotic e-string theory heterotic string theory E₈ × E₈ 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.
