Kramers-Wannier symmetry and strong-weak-coupling duality in the two-dimensional $\Phi^{4}$ field model
Abstract
It is found that the exact beta-function of the continuous 2D model possesses two types of dual symmetries, these being the Kramers-Wannier (KW) duality symmetry and the weak-strong-coupling symmetry , or S-duality. All these transformations are explicitly constructed. The -duality transformation is shown to connect domains of weak and strong couplings, i.e. above and below with being a fixed point. Basically it means that there is a tempting possibility to compute multiloop Feynman diagrams for the -function using high-temperature lattice expansions. The regular scheme developed is found to be strongly unstable. Approximate values of the renormalized coupling constant found from duality symmetry equations are in good agreement with available numerical results.
