Heterotic effective action and duality symmetries revisited

The dimensional reduction of heterotic supergravity with gauge fields truncated to the Cartan subalgebra exhibits a continuous O(d, d + 16; ℝ) global symmetry, related to the O(d, d + 16; ℤ) T-duality of heterotic strings on a d-torus. The O(d, d + 16; ℝ) symmetry is not present, however, if the sup...
