After simultaneous compactification of spacetime and worldvolume on K3
, the D = 10 heterotic fivebrane with gauge group S0(32) behaves like
a D = 6 heterotic string with gauge group S0(28) x SU(2), but with Kac
-Moody levels different from those of the fundamental string. Thus the
string/fivebrane duality conjecture in D = 10 gets replaced by a stri
ng/string duality conjecture in D = 6. Since D = 6 strings are better
understood than D = 10 fivebranes, this provides a more reliable labor
atory in which to test the conjecture. According to string/string dual
ity, the Green-Schwarz factorization of the D = 6 spacetime anomaly po
lynomial l(8) into X(4) ($) over tilde X(4) means that just as X(4) is
the sigma-model anomaly polynomial of the fundamental string worldshe
et so ($) over tilde X4 should be the corresponding polynomial of the
dual string worldsheet. To test this idea we perform a classical dual
string calculation of ($) over tilde X(4) and find agreement with the
quantum fundamental string result. This also provides an a posteriori
justification for assumptions made in a previous paper on string/fiveb
rane duality. Finally we speculate on the relevance of string/string d
uality to the vacuum degeneracy problem.
