Noncommutative Geometry, Strings and Duality

Abstract

In this talk, based on work done in collaboration with G. Landi and R.J Szabo, I will review how string theory can be considered as a noncommutative geometry based on an algebra of vertex operators. The spectral triple of strings is introduced, and some of the string symmetries, notably target space duality, are discussed in this framework.
