Abstract

I discuss how a “dimensional duality” would exist between a pair of string models with \(d = (p + 1)\) and \(d = (D - p - 3)\) non-compact dimensions, if these models could generate, respectively, the zero-modes of dual \({p^1}\) and \((D - p - 4)\)-branes living in D spacetime dimensions.
