Dualities in string theory
Aybike Özer
İTÜ, Türkiye
This talk is comprised of two parts: In the first part, which will be mostly non-technical, I will give a general overview of various duality symmetries in string theory. Then I will explain (part of) our work, where we establish an S-duality relation between the two massive theories obtained from twisted compactifcations of heterotic and IIA string theories down to four dimensions.
