S-Duality from OM-Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-11-19 v3

Abstract

We study the compactification of OM-theory on tori and show a simple heuristic derivation of the SS-duals of noncommutative open string theory in diverse dimensions from the OM-theoretical point of view. In particular, we identify the SS-duality between noncommutative open string theory and noncommutative Yang-Mills theory in (3+1)(3+1) dimensions as the exchange of two circles of a torus on which OM-theory is compactified. Also, we briefly discuss TT-duality between noncommutative open string theories.
