Duality and Canonical Transformations
We present a brief review on the canonical transformation description of some duality symmetries in string and gauge theories. In particular, we consider abelian and non-abelian T-dualities in closed and open string theories as well as S-duality in abelian and non-abelian non-supersymmetric gauge theories.

متن کاملNon-Abelian Duality and Canonical Transformations
We construct explicit canonical transformations producing non-abelian duals in principal chiral models with arbitrary group G. Some comments concerning the extension to more general σ-models, like WZW models, are given. PUPT-1532 hep-th/9503045 March 1995 ∗[email protected]
متن کاملType IIB string theory , S - duality , and generalized cohomology ∗
In the presence of background Neveu-Schwarz flux, the description of the Ramond-Ramond fields of type IIB string theory using twisted K-theory is not compatible with S-duality. We argue that other possible variants of twisted K-theory would still not resolve this issue. We propose instead a possible path to a solution using elliptic cohomology. We also discuss Tduality relation of this to a pre...
متن کاملM-Theory and String-String Duality
In this article we examine the compatibility of some recent results, results relating M-Theory to String Theory, with the string-string duality conjecture in six-dimensions. In particular, we rederive the relation between M-Theory and Type IIA strings. We then go on to examine in detail M-Theory on K3× S and its relation to the Heterotic theory on T . We conclude with some remarks on M-Theory o...
متن کاملA Canonical Approach to Duality Transformations
We show that Buscher’s abelian duality transformation rules can be recovered in a very simple way by performing a canonical transformation first suggested by Giveon, Rabinovici and Veneziano. We explore the properties of this transformation, and also discuss some aspects of non-abelian duality.
