Dimensional Reduction and T-duality

  • PLACE Kenkyu Honkan 3F seminar room

String theory is rich in symmetry contents. When the string effective action is dimensionally reduced to lower spacetime dimensions new symmetries manifest. T-duality is one of them. Of particular interest is the emergence of O(d,d) symmetry. I shall bring out the essential features of this symmetry. I shall also very briefly mention about the recent paper of Lechtenfeld, Sen and Zweibach.
