Scientific paper

We obtain an M--theory interpretation of different IIA orientifold planes by compactifying them on a circle and use a chain of dualities to get a new IIA limit of these objects using this circle as the eleventh dimension. Using the combination of the two IIA description, we give an interpretation for all orientifold four-planes in M-theory, including a mechanism for freezing M5-branes at singularities.
