Edward Witten discusses the strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimensions $ d \geq 4 $. He argues that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring and that a duality between the heterotic string and Type IIA superstrings controls the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic string in five, six, and seven dimensions, implying S-duality for both heterotic and Type II strings. The paper explores the implications of S-duality in string theory, particularly in higher dimensions, and relates it to the low energy limits of string theories. It shows that the strong coupling limit of Type IIA supergravity in ten dimensions is eleven-dimensional supergravity, and that the strong coupling limit of five-dimensional heterotic string theory is Type IIB in six dimensions, while the strong coupling limit of six-dimensional heterotic string theory is Type IIA in six dimensions. The paper also discusses the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic string in seven dimensions, which involves eleven-dimensional supergravity. The results are based on a relation between the heterotic string and the Type IIA superstring in six dimensions. The paper concludes that the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic string in ten dimensions is related to the Type I theory with $ SO(32) $ gauge group, and that this relation conjecturally completes the description of strong coupling dynamics except for $ E_8 \times E_8 $ in ten dimensions. The paper also discusses the implications of U-duality for the dynamics of Type II superstrings in dimensions below ten and the role of eleven-dimensional supergravity in understanding the strong coupling behavior of string theories.Edward Witten discusses the strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimensions $ d \geq 4 $.
