BPS states on non-commutative tori and duality. (English) Zbl 0949.58004

Summary: We study gauge theories on non-commutative tori. It has been proved that Morita equivalence of non-commutative tori leads to a physical equivalence (SO\((d,d\mathbb{Z})\)-duality) of the corresponding gauge theories (A. Schwarz, 1998). We calculate the energy spectrum of maximally supersymmetric BPS states in these theories and show that this spectrum agrees with the SO\((d,d\mathbb{Z})\)-duality. The relation of our results with those of recent calculations is discussed.
