String theory dualities from M theory
arXiv:hep-th/9604103 · doi:10.1016/0550-3213(96)00321-5
Abstract
We analyze how string theory dualities may be described in M theory. T dualities arise from scalar-vector dualities in the worldvolume of the membrane of M theory. ``Electric-magnetic'' dualities arise from a duality transformation in M theory compactified on a 3-torus, which takes the membrane into a fivebrane wrapped around the 3-torus.
