We derive the T-duality transformations that transform a general d=10 solution of the type-IIA string with one isometry to a solution of the type-IIB string with one isometry and vice versa. In contrast to other superstring theories, the T-duality transformations are not related to a non-compact symmetry of a d=9 supergravity theory. We also discuss S-duality in d=9 and d=10 and the relationship with eleven-dimensional supergravity theory. We apply these dualities to generate new solutions of the type IIA and type IIB superstrings and of eleven-dimensional supergravity.

  1. D-branes and fractional instantons on a twisted four torus: the moduli space as an N=2 supersymmetric Higgs branch

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The local moduli space of self-dual fractional instantons (Q = r/N) on a twisted four-torus is the Higgs branch of an N=2 supersymmetric theory, obtained via wrapped intersecting D-brane configurations.

  2. $O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities persist with altered Kasner exponents, while dilaton effects enable dynamic generation of negative cosmological constants at weak coupling.

  3. Wilson loop in AdS$_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$ from quantum M2 brane

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The 1-loop M2-brane partition function for the Wilson loop in AdS3 x S3 x T4 equals kappa over sqrt(2 pi) with no higher-genus string corrections.

  4. $O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities are not resolved but approach with altered Kasner exponents, while a dilaton generates negative cosmological constants at small coupling.
