Exact Duality and Nilpotent Gauging

Abstract

We obtain new duality transformations relating some exact string backgrounds, by defining the nilpotent duality. We show that the ungauged SL(2,R)SL(2, R) WZW model transforms by its action into the three dimensional plane wave geometry. We also give the inverse transformation from the plane wave to the SL(2,R)SL(2, R) model and discuss the implications of the results.
