Abstract

Compactifying the E₈ non-critical string in 6D down to 5D the 6D strings give rise to particles and strings in 5D. Using the dual M-theory description compactified on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau we compare some of the 5D BPS states to what one expects from non-critical strings with an E₈ chiral current algebra. The E₈ multiplets of particle states comprise of 2-branes wrapping on irreducible curves together with bound states of several 2-branes.
