<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>Majorana-Weyl spacetimes offer a rich algebraic setup and new types of space-time dualities besides those discussed by Hull. The triality automorphisms of Spin(8) act non-trivially on Majorana-Weyl representations and Majorana-Weyl spacetimes with different signatures. In particular relations exist among the &lt;math&gt;(1+9)\leftrightarrow (5+5)\leftrightarrow (9+1)\,\!&lt;/math&gt; spacetimes, as well as their transverse coordinates spacetimes &lt;math&gt;(0+8)\leftrightarrow (4+4)\leftrightarrow (8+0)\,\!&lt;/math&gt;. Larger dimensional spacetimes such as &lt;math&gt;(2+10)\leftrightarrow (6+6)\leftrightarrow (10+2)\,\!&lt;/math&gt; also show dualities induced by triality. A precise three-languages dictionary is here given. It furnishes the exact translations among, e.g., the three different versions (one in each signature) of the ten-dimensional &lt;math&gt;N=1\,\!&lt;/math&gt; superstring and superYang-Mills theories. Their dualities close the six-element permutation group &lt;math&gt;S_3\,\!&lt;/math&gt; . Bilinear and trilinear invariants allowing to formulate theories with a manifest space-time symmetry are constructed.</dd>
