Abstract
Recently the space-time configurations of a set of nonthreshold bound states, called the (F,Dp) bound states, have been constructed explicitly for every p with 2<~p<~7 in both type IIA (for p even) and type IIB (for p odd) string theories by the present authors. By making use of the SL(2,Z) symmetry of type IIB theory we construct a more general SL(2,Z) invariant bound state of the type ((F,D1), (NS5, D5)) in this theory from the (F,D5) bound state. There are actually an infinite number of (m,n) strings forming bound states with (m,n) 5-branes, where strings lie along one of the spatial directions of the 5-branes. By applying T duality along one of the transverse directions we also construct the bound state ((F,D2),(KK,D6)) in type IIA string theory. Then we give a list of possible bound states which can be obtained from these newly constructed bound states by applying T dualities along the longitudinal directions as well as S dualities to those in type IIB theory.
