On Target-Space Duality in p-Branes

Abstract

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 compactified, and a particular form of the background fields. We find that while a $GL(2)=SL(2)\times R$ group is realized when $m=0$, only a two parameter group is realized when $m>0$.
