Abstract

In this article we examine the compatibility of some recent results, results relating M-Theory to String Theory, with the string-string duality conjecture in six-dimensions. In particular, we rederive the relation between M-Theory and Type IIA strings. We then go on to examine in detail M-Theory on K3 × S1 and its relation to the Heterotic theory on T4. We conclude with some remarks on M-Theory on T4× (S1/\bf Z2) and its relation to the Type II theory on K3.
