Non-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 کاملDuality 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 کاملQuantum corrections of Abelian Duality Transformations
A modification of the Abelian Duality transformations is proposed guaranteeing that a (not necessarily conformally invariant) σ-model be quantum equivalent (at least up to two loops in perturbation theory) to its dual. This requires a somewhat non standard perturbative treatment of the dual σ-model. Explicit formulae of the modified duality transformation are presented for a special class of bl...
متن کاملOn Non-Abelian Duality
A general study of non-abelian duality is presented. We first identify a possible obstruction to the conformal invariance of the dual theory for non-semisimple groups. We construct the exact non-abelian dual for any Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model for any anomaly free subgroup, and the corresponding extension for coset conformal field theories. We characterize the exact non-abelian dual for σ-mo...
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.
