Abstract:

Based on a simple adiabatic argument and by considering the heterotic string counterpart of certain symmetries of Type II superstrings such as

(-1)~{F_L}

and orientation reversal, we construct orbifold candidates for dual pairs of heterotic and Type II string theories with

N=2

and

N=1

supersymmetry. We also analyze from a similar point of view the

{\rm K3}

fibrations that enter in recently proposed

N=2

candidates and use this structure together with certain orientation-reversing symmetries to construct

N=1

dual pairs. These pairs involve generalizations of Type I vacua which can be equivalent to

E_8\times E_8

heterotic strings, while standard Type I vacua are related to

SO(32)

.
