Description

Ten dimensional type IIA and IIB theories with p-branes are compactified to 8-dimensions. It is shown that resulting branes can be classified according to the representations of SL(3,Z) x SL(2,Z). These p-branes can also be obtained by compactification of M theory on three torus and various wrappings of membrane and five brane of the eleven dimensional theory. It is argued that there is evidence for bound states of the branes in eight dimensions as is the case in the interpretation of SL(2,Z) family of string solutions obtained by Schwarz. (author)
