Double field theory: a pedagogical review
G Aldazabal, D Marques, C Nunez - Classical and Quantum …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Double field theory (DFT) is a proposal to incorporate T-duality, a distinctive symmetry of
string theory, as a symmetry of a field theory defined on a double configuration space. The …

Strong–weak coupling duality in four-dimensional string theory
A Sen - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1994 - World Scientific
We present several pieces of evidence for strong–weak coupling duality symmetry in the
heterotic string theory, compactified on a six-dimensional torus. They include symmetry of …

The string dilation and a least coupling principle
T Damour, AM Polyakov - Nuclear Physics B, 1994 - Elsevier
It is pointed out that string-loop modifications of the low-energy matter couplings of the
dilation may provide a mechanism for fixing the vacuum expectation value of a massless …

Unity of superstring dualities
CM Hull, PK Townsend - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
The effective action for type II string theory compactified on a six-torus is N= 8 supergravity,
which is known to have an E7 duality symmetry. We show that this is broken by quantum …
