U-duality

U-duality is a symmetry of M-theory combining S-duality and T-duality transformations. The term is most often met with in the context of the "U-duality (symmetry) group" of M-theory as defined on a particular background space (topological manifold). This is the union of all the S- and T-dualities available in that topology.
