摘要
We construct several examples where duality transformation commutes with the orbifolding procedure even when the orbifolding group does not act freely, and there are massless states from the twisted sector at a generic point in the moduli space. Often the matching of spectrum in the dual theories is a result of nontrivial identities satisfied by the coefficients of one loop tadpoles in the heterotic, type II and type I string theories.
