摘要
We construct T-duality on K3 surfaces, The T-duality exchanges a 4-brane RR chare and a O-brane RR charge, We study the action of the T-duality on the moduli space of O-branes located at points of K3 and 4-branes wrapping it, We apply the construction to F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau 4-fold and study the duality of N = 2 SU(N-c) gauge theories in four dimensions. We discuss the generalization to the N = 1 duality scenario. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
