E. Alvarez, L. Alvarez-Gaume, Y. Lozano
TL;DR
This paper presents a simple canonical method to derive Buscher's abelian duality rules and discusses properties of duality transformations, including some aspects of non-abelian duality.
Contribution
It introduces a straightforward canonical approach to derive abelian duality transformations and explores their properties, extending to non-abelian cases.
Findings
Canonical transformation reproduces Buscher's duality rules
Analysis of properties of duality transformations
Discussion on non-abelian duality aspects
Abstract
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.
