Abstract
The duality symmetries of various chiral boson actions are investigated using $D=2$ and $D=6$ space-time dimensions as examples. These actions involve the Siegel, Floreanini-Jackiw, Srivastava and Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin formulations. We discover that the Siegel, Floreanini-Jackiw and Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin actions have self-duality with respect to a common anti-dualization of chiral boson fields in $D=2$ and $D=6$ dimensions, respectively, while the Srivastava action is self-dual with respect to a generalized dualization of chiral boson fields. Moreover, the action of the Floreanini-Jackiw chiral bosons interacting with gauge fields in $D=2$ dimensions also has self-duality but with respect to a generalized anti-dualization of chiral boson fields.
