Background duality of open-string models
Abstract
The moduli space of open-string models is studied showing that the duality between large and small compactification radius extends also to open string theories. Using this, the Chan-Paton factors of a circle-compactified model are partly explained as coming from the set of space-time fixed points of a dual orbifold.
