摘要：
We analyze how string theory dualities may be described in M-theory. T-dualities arise from scalar-vector dualities in the worldvolume of the membrane of M-theory. ''Electric-magnetic'' dualities arise from a duality transformation in M-theory compactified on a 3-torus, which takes the membrane into a fivebrane wrapped around the 3-torus. We show how the action of the membrane transforms into the action of the wrapped fivebrane by this transformation. Other ''electric-magnetic'' dualities are related to this duality by compactifications and orbifoldings.
