Description
We point out that for N = 4 gauge theories with exceptional gauge groups G2 and F4 the S-duality transformation acts on the moduli space by a nontrivial involution. We note that the duality groups of these theories are the Hecke groups with elliptic elements of order 6 and 4, respectively. These groups extend the Γ0(3) and Γ0(2) subgroups of SL(2,Z) by elements with a non-trivial action on the moduli space. We show that under a certain embedding of these gauge theories into string theory, the Hecke duality groups are represented by T-duality transformations
