Duality Symmetries in N=2 Heterotic Superstring

Abstract

We review the derivation and the basic properties of the perturbative prepotential in N=2 compactifications of the heterotic superstring. We discuss the structure of the perturbative monodromy group and the embedding of rigidly supersymmetric monodromies associated with enhanced gauge groups, at both perturbative and non-perturbative level.

Based on talks presented at several conferences. 12 pages, LaTeX
