A Note on T-Duality, Open Strings in B-field Background and Canonical Transformations

Abstract

In this paper we study T-duality for open strings ending on branes with non-zero B-field on them from the point of view of canonical transformations. For the particular case of type II strings on the two torus we show that the $Sl(2,Z{)}_N$ transformations can be understood as a sub-class of canonical transformations on the open strings in the B-field background.
