| dc.description | The dimensional reduction of the E8 gauge theory in eleven dimensions leads to a loop bundle in ten dimensional type IA string theory. We show that the restriction to the Neveu-Schwarz sector leads naturally to a sigma model with target space E8 with the ten-dimensional spacetime as the source. The corresponding bundle has a structure group the group of based loops, whose classifying space we study. We explore some consequences of this proposal such as possible Lagrangians and existence of flat connections. | |
