Reviews of Modern Physics, 1996 The strong coupling limit of a quantum system is in general quite complicated, but in some cases a great simplification occurs: the strongly coupled limit is equivalent to the weakly coupled limit of some other system. In string theory conjectures of this type go back several years, but only in the past year and a half has it been understood to be a ...

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 ...

A supermembrane description of string-string duality [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1997 We show that the open membrane action on $T^3\times S^1/Z^2$ is equivalent to the closed membrane action on K3. The main difference between the two actions is that one generates the KK modes in the worldvolume action which is the strong coupling limit of \IIA\ while the other action generates the KK modes in a worldsheet action.

Brane actions and string dualities [PDF]
, 2008 An effective action for the M9-brane is proposed. We study its relation with other branes via dualities. Among these, we find actions for branes which are not suggested by the central charges of the Type II superalgebras.

T-duality in arbitrary string backgrounds [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1996 T-Duality is a poorly understood symmetry of the space-time fields of string theory that interchanges long and short distances. It is best understood in the context of toroidal compactification where, loosely speaking, radii of the torus are inverted.

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.

NONCOMMUTATIVE GEOMETRY, STRINGS AND DUALITY [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2000 In this talk, based on work done in collaboration with G. Landi and R. J. Szabo, I will review how string theory can be considered as a noncommutative geometry based on an algebra of vertex operators. The spectral triple of strings is introduced, and some of the string symmetries, notably target space duality, are discussed in this framework.

On duality walls in string theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2003 Following the RG flow of an N=1 quiver gauge theory and applying Seiberg duality whenever necessary defines a duality cascade, that in simple cases has been understood holographically. It has been argued that in certain cases, the dualities will pile up at a certain energy scale called the duality wall, accompanied by a dramatic rise in the number of ...

The T-dual symmetries of a bosonic string
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 We investigate whether the symmetry transformations of a bosonic string are connected by T-duality. We start with a standard closed string theory. We continue with a modified open string theory, modified to preserve the symmetry transformations possessed
