Evidence for Non-perturbative String Symmetries

Abstract

String theory appears to admit a group of discrete field transformations -- called $S$ dualities -- as exact non-perturbative quantum symmetries. Mathematically, they are rather analogous to the better-known $T$ duality symmetries, which hold perturbatively. In this talk the evidence for $S$ duality is reviewed and some speculations are presented.
