Abstract
We study some aspects of the strong coupling dynamics of Dirichlet six branes, anti- six branes, and orientifold planes by using the equivalence of type IIA string theory and M-theory on S^1. In particular we show that in the strong coupling limit there exists stable configuration of brane and anti-brane at arbitrary separation. The mass of the open string stretched between the brane and the anti-brane approaches a finite positive value even when the branes coincide. We also derive the anomalous gravitational interaction on the brane and the orientifold plane from M-theory.
