Duality and Canonical Transformations

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-04-15 v1

Abstract

We present a brief review on the canonical transformation description of some duality symmetries in string and gauge theories. In particular, we consider abelian and non-abelian T-dualities in closed and open string theories as well as S-duality in abelian and non-abelian non-supersymmetric gauge theories.
