Electric/magnetic duality and its stringy origins [PDF]
, 1995 We review electric/magnetic duality in $N=4$ (and certain $N=2$) globally supersymmetric gauge theories and show how this duality, which relates strong to weak coupling, follows as a consequence of a string/string duality.

Duality of (0,2) string vacua [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1995 We discuss a duality of (0,2) heterotic string vacua which implies that certain pairs of (0,2) Calabi-Yau compactifications on topologically distinct target manifolds yield identical string theories. Some complex structure moduli in one model are interpreted in the dual model as deforming the holomorphic structure of the vacuum gauge bundle (and vice ...

Nuclear Physics B, 2015 Just as string T-duality originates from transforming field equations into Bianchi identities on the string worldsheet, so it has been suggested that M-theory U-dualities originate from transforming field equations into Bianchi identities on the membrane

Dualities in Five Dimensions and Charged String Solutions [PDF]
, 1995 We consider an eleven dimensional supergravity compactified on $K3\times T^2$ and show that the resulting five dimensional theory has identical massless states as that of heterotic string compactified on a specific five torus $T^5$.

M-Theory (the Theory Formerly Known as Strings) [PDF]
, 1996 Superunification underwent a major paradigm shift in 1984 when eleven-dimensional supergravity was knocked off its pedestal by ten-dimensional superstrings.

Strings, T-duality breaking, and nonlocality without the shortest distance [PDF]
, 2006 T-duality of string theory suggests nonlocality manifested as the shortest possible distance. As an alternative, we suggest a nonlocal formulation of string theory that breaks T-duality at the fundamental level and does not require the shortest possible ...

Massive Dualities in Six Dimensions [PDF]
, 2001 We study compactifications of string theory and M-theory to six dimensions with background fluxes. The nonzero fluxes lead to additional mass parameters.

On Mathieu moonshine and Gromov-Witten invariants
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We provide further evidence that CY 3 manifolds are involved in an intricate way in Mathieu moonshine, i.e., their Gromov-Witten invariants are related to the expansion coefficients of the twined/twisted-twined elliptic genera of K3.

Torus bundles, automorphisms and T-duality
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We reconsider some older constructions of T-duality, based on automorphisms of the worldsheet operator algebra, in a modern context. It has been long known that at special points in the moduli space of torus compactifications, the target space gauge ...
