On Target-Space Duality in p-Branes

Abstract

We study the target-space duality transformations in pp--branes as transformations which mix the worldvolume field equations with Bianchi identities. We consider an (m+p+1)(m+p+1)-dimensional spacetime with p+1p+1 dimensions compactified, and a particular form of the background fields. We find that while a GL(2)=SL(2)×RGL(2)=SL(2)\times R group is realized when m=0m=0, only a two parameter group is realized when m>0m>0.
