The maximal number of dimensions is 12, with signature (10,2), containing one space and one time dimensions that are hidden from the point of view of perturbative 10-dimensional string theory or its compactifications. When the theory is compactified on $R^{d-1,1}\\otimes T^{c+1,1}$ with $d+c+2=12,$ there are isometry groups that relate to the hidden dimensions as well as to duality. Their combined classification schemes provide some properties of non-perturbative states and their couplings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1996-06-04T05:35:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.25.Mj", "11.30.Pb", "11.25.Hf" ], "keywords": [ "time dimensions", "p-brane duality", "hidden space", "hidden dimensions", "supersymmetry" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
