Heterotic String Theory on Anti-de-Sitter Spaces
  We suggest that compactifications on Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spaces of type IIA, IIB, heterotic strings and eleven dimensional vacuua of M-theory are related by a combination of $T$ and strong/weak dualities. Maldacena conjecture relates then all these vacuua to a conformal theory on the boundaries. Furthermore acting with discrete groups on part of the internal spaces of these theories will lead to further dual theories with less or no supersymmetry.
