Heterotic/M-Theory Duality in N=2, D=3 Effective Lagrangians — •Michael Haack — Martin-Luther-Universität, Halle-Wittenberg, Fachgruppe Theoretische Physik

We study the duality between M-theory compactified on Calabi-Yau fourfolds and the heterotic string compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds times a circle. Our analysis is based on a comparison of the low energy effective actions in three dimensions.
