Quantum aspects of target space duality
Quantum aspects of target space duality
This thesis explores the phenomenon of target space duality at the quantum level. Aspects of Abelian and non-Abelian variants are considered in the context of Batalian-Vilkovisky quantisation in order to define path integrals. Obstacles of the construction of non-Abelian duals are overcome and the quantum nature of Abelian models is considered; neither investigation relying upon supersymmetry.

Abstract
This thesis explores the phenomenon of target space duality at the quantum level. Aspects of Abelian and non-Abelian variants are considered in the context of Batalian-Vilkovisky quantisation in order to define path integrals. Obstacles of the construction of non-Abelian duals are overcome and the quantum nature of Abelian models is considered; neither investigation relying upon supersymmetry.
