9410210 Classical / Quantum Duality

چکیده
String theory requires two kinds of loop expansion: classical (α ′) world-sheet loops with expansion parameter < T > where T is a modulus field, and quantum (¯ h) spacetime loops with expansion parameter < S > where S is the dilaton field. Four-dimensional string/string duality (a corollary of ten-dimensional string/fivebrane duality) interchanges the roles of S and T and hence interchanges classical and quantum.

Quantum–Mechanical Dualities from Classical Phase Space
The geometry of the classical phase space C of a finite number of degrees of freedom determines the possible duality symmetries of the corresponding quantum mechanics. Under duality we understand the relativity of the notion of a quantum with respect to an observer on C. We illustrate this property explicitly in the case when classical phase space is complex n–dimensional projective space CPn. ...
متن کاملJ ul 1 99 5 Classical limits , quantum duality and Lie - Poisson structures
Quantum duality principle is applied to study classical limits of quantum algebras and groups. For a certain type of Hopf algebras the explicit procedure to construct both classical limits is presented. The canonical forms of quantized Lie-bialgebras are proved to be two-parametric varieties with two classical limits called dual. When considered from the point of view of quantized symmetries su...
متن کاملClassical Geometry and Target Space Duality
A new formulation for a “restricted” type of target space duality in classical two dimensional nonlinear sigma models is presented. The main idea is summarized by the analogy: euclidean geometry is to riemannian geometry as toroidal target space duality is to “restricted” target space duality. The target space is not required to possess symmetry. These lectures only discuss the local theory. Th...
متن کاملT-duality without Quantum Corrections
It is a well known fact that the classical (“Buscher”) transformations of T-duality do receive, in general, quantum corrections. It is interesting to check whether classical T-duality can be exact as a quantum symmetry. The natural starting point is a σ-model with N=4 world sheet supersymmetry. Remarkably, we find that (owing to the fact that, contrary to a widespread belief, N=4 models with to...
متن کاملCern–th-6077/91 Scale Factor Duality for Classical and Quantum Strings
Duality under inversion of the cosmological scale factor is discussed both for the classical motion of strings in cosmological backgrounds and for genus zero, low energy effective actions. The string-modified, Einstein-Friedmann equations are then shown to possess physically-inequivalent, duality-related solutions which generically describe the ”decay” of an initial, perturbative, flat D = 10 s...
