Talk presented at the Workshop "Frontiers in Quantum Field Theory" in
honor of the 60th birthday of Prof. Keiji Kikkawa, Osaka, Japan, December
1995
It is my pleasure and honor to give a talk on occasion of Professor Kikkawa's
60th birthday. His various scientific achievements have been mentioned through-
out the meeting, but I also want to add that he has been a great role model
for generations of aspiring theoretical physicists. I myself frequented his group
at Osaka during my graduate school years at Kyoto in order to discuss with
him, and I am very grateful for his advice on scientific and other matters.
I have to come back to one of his scientific contributions, the discovery
of the T-duality in string theory 1. Let me start with the T-duality in the
context of the heterotic string. The heterotic string on R9 x S' is invariant
under transformation r -+ 2/r where r is the radius of the circle S1 in the
target space. (Once compactified on S', the heterotic strings with Es x Es
and SO(32) gauge groups are continuously connected, and we do not have to
