New dual relations between quantum field theory and string regimes in curved backgrounds

A {\cal R} "dual" transform is introduced which relates Quantum Field Theory and String regimes, both in a curved background with D-non compact dimensions. This operation maps the characteristic length of one regime into the other (and, as a consequence, mass domains as well). The {\cal R}-transform is not an assumed or {\it a priori} imposed symmetry but is revealed by the QFT and String dynamics in curved backgrounds. The Hawking-Gibbons temperature and the string maximal or critical temperature are {\cal R}-mapped one into the other. If back reaction of quantum matter is included, Quantum Field Theory and String phases appear, and {\cal R}-relations between them manifest as well. These {\cal R}-transformations are explicitly shown in two relevant examples: Black Hole and de Sitter space times.
