Generalised T-Duality and Non-Geometric Backgrounds
We undertake a systematic analysis of non-geometric backgrounds in string theory by seeking stringy liftings of a class of gauged supergravity theories. In addition to conventional flux compactifications and non-geometric T-folds with T-duality transition functions, we find a new class of non-geometric backgrounds with non-trivial dependence on the dual coordinates that are conjugate to the str...
متن کاملOrbits of Geometric Descent
We prove that quasiconvex functions always admit descent trajectories bypassing all non-minimizing critical points.
متن کاملDuality twists, orbifolds, and fluxes
We investigate compactifications with duality twists and their relation to orbifolds and compactifications with fluxes. Inequivalent compactifications are classified by conjugacy classes of the U-duality group and result in gauged supergravities in lower dimensions with nontrivial Scherk-Schwarz potentials on the moduli space. For certain twists, this mechanism is equivalent to introducing inte...
متن کاملRamond-Ramond Fields, Cohomology and Non-Geometric Fluxes
We consider compactifications of type II string theory in which a d-dimensional torus is fibered over a base X. In string theory, the transition functions of this fibration need not be simply diffeomorphisms of T d but can involve elements of the T-duality group Spin(d, d,Z). We precisely define the notion of a T-fold with NSNS flux. Given such a T-fold, we define the Z2-graded cohomology theor...
متن کاملT-duality, Quotients and Currents for Non-Geometric Closed Strings
We use the canonical description of T-duality as well as the formulation of T-duality in terms of chiral currents to investigate the geometric and non-geometric faces of closed string backgrounds originating from principal torus bundles with constant Hflux. Employing conformal field theory techniques, the non-commutative and nonassociative structures among generalized coordinates in the so call...
