String duality is a class of symmetries in physics that link different string theories, theories which assume that the fundamental building blocks of...

T-duality (short for target-space duality) in theoretical physics is an equivalence of two physical theories, which may be either quantum field theories...

Two theories related by a duality need not be string theories. For example, Montonen–Olive duality is an example of an S-duality relationship between quantum...

In theoretical physics, S-duality (short for strong–weak duality, or Sen duality) is an equivalence of two physical theories, which may be either quantum...

In physics, U-duality (short for unified duality) is a symmetry of string theory or M-theory combining S-duality and T-duality transformations. The term...

I string theory — a theory that also contains open strings; this relation is called S-duality. The HO and HE theories are also related by T-duality. Because...

Other dualities that arise in string theory are S-duality, T-duality, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. For an accessible introduction to string theory...
