Target Space Duality I : General Theory ∗
We develop a systematic framework for studying target space duality at the classical level. We show that target space duality between manifolds M and M̃ arises because of the existence of a very special symplectic manifold. This manifold locally looks like M×M̃ and admits a double fibration. We analyze the local geometric requirements necessary for target space duality and prove that both manifol...

متن کاملTarget Space Duality II: Applications
We apply the framework developed in Target Space Duality I: General Theory. We show that both nonabelian duality and Poisson-Lie duality are examples of the general theory. We propose how the formalism leads to a systematic study of duality by studying few scenarios that lead to open questions in the theory of Lie algebras. We present evidence that there are probably new examples of irreducible...
متن کاملTarget Space Duality III: Potentials
We generalize previous results on target space duality to the case where there are background fields and the sigma model lagrangian has a potential function. PACS: 11.25-w, 03.50-z, 02.40-k
متن کاملOn Target-space Duality in P–branes
We study the target-space duality transformations in p–branes as transformations which mix the worldvolume field equations with Bianchi identities. We consider an (m + p + 1)-dimensional spacetime with p + 1 dimensions com-pactified, and a particular form of the background fields. We find that while a GL(2) = SL(2) × R group is realized when m = 0, only a two parameter group is realized when m ...
