Abstract:

We show that three-dimensional N=8

Sp(N)

and

SO(2N+1)

gauge theories flow to the same strong coupling fixed point. As a consequence, the corresponding orientifold two-planes in type IIA string theory are described at strong coupling and low-energies by the same M theory background. In the large

N

limit, these assertions are confirmed by studying discrete torsion in the supergravity theory corresponding to membranes on

R^8/Z_2

.
