Exact duality symmetries in CFT and string theory
There is substancial overlap with hepth-9211081. More results are presented for duality in the non-compact case. It is argued that duality persists as a symmetry also in that case.

More results are presented for duality in the non-compact case. It is argued that duality persists as a symmetry also in that case.The duality symmetries of WZW and coset models are discussed. The exact underlying symmetry responsible for semiclassical duality is identified with the symmetry under affine Weyl transformations. This identification unifies the treatment of duality symmetries and shows that in the compact and unitary case they are exact symmetries of string theory to all orders in α' and in the string coupling constant. Non-compact WZW models and cosets are also discussed. A toy models is analyzed suggesting that duality can survive as an exact symmetry.hep-th/9302033CERN-TH-6797-93CERN-TH-6797-93oai:cds.cern.ch:2458731993-02-09 |
