Remarks on Non-Abelian Duality
S. Elitzur, A. Giveon, E. Rabinovici +2
A class of two-dimensional globally scale-invariant, but not conformally invariant, theories is obtained. These systems are identified in the process of discussing global and local…
Introduction to Duality
Amit Giveon, Martin Rocek
We describe the duality between different geometries which arises by considering the classical and quantum harmonic map problem. To appear in ``Essays on Mirror Manifolds II''.
Non-Abelian Strong-Weak Coupling Duality in (String-Derived) N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories
L. Girardello, A. Giveon, M. Porrati +1
We study strong-weak coupling duality (S-duality) in N=4 supersymmetric non-Abelian Yang-Mills theories. These theories arise naturally as the low-energy limit of four-dimensional…
Mirror Symmetry as a Gauge Symmetry
Amit Giveon, Edward Witten
It is shown that in string theory mirror duality is a gauge symmetry (a Weyl transformation) in the moduli space of backgrounds on group manifolds, and we conjecture on the p…
Target Space Duality in String Theory
A. Giveon, M. Porrati, E. Rabinovici
A review article submitted to Physics Report: Target space duality and discrete symmetries in string theory are reviewed in different settings.
