Abstract: We obtain new duality transformations relating some exact string backgrounds, by defining the nilpotent duality. We show that the ungauged $SL(2,R)$ WZW model transforms by its action into the three dimensional plane wave geometry. We also give the inverse transformation from the plane wave to the $SL(2,R)$ model and discuss the implications of the results.
