I think that this is the most provocative paper of the day, to say the
least. Simeon Hellerman probes the theories in d>10 and claims that there
is some type of S-duality between type I with "n" additional
D9-brane-antibrane pairs on one side, and a supercritical string theory in
10+n dimensions with the gauge group SO(32+n).
I am looking forward to your comments about this paper, because his
proposals seem unexpectedly concrete, appealing, yet vague and hard to
believe. ;-)
Best wishes
Lubos
