Geometric T-Duality: Buscher Rules in General Topology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract The classical Buscher rules d escribe T-duality for metrics and B-fields in a topologically trivial setting. On the other hand, topological addresses aspects of non-trivial topology while neglecting B-fields. In this article, we develop new unifying framework both aspects.

Superfield T–duality Rules
A geometric treatment of T–duality as an operation which acts on differential forms in superspace allows us to derive the complete set of T-duality transformation rules which relate the superfield potentials of D = 10 type IIB supergravity with those of type IIA supergravity including Ramond–Ramond superfield potentials (C M1...M2n(Z) resp. Ĉ (2n+1) M1...M2n+1 (Ẑ)) and fermionic supervielbeins ...
متن کاملT-Duality: Topology Change from H-flux
T-duality acts on circle bundles by exchanging the first Chern class with the fiberwise integral of the H-flux, as we motivate using E8 and also using S-duality. We present known and new examples including NS5-branes, nilmanifolds, Lens spaces, both circle bundles over RPn, and the AdS×S to AdS×CP×S with backgroundH-flux of Duff et al. When T-duality leads to M-theory on a non-spin manifold the...
متن کاملTopology Change from ( Heterotic ) Narain T - Duality
We consider Narain T-duality on a nontrivially fibered n-torus bundle in the presence of a topologically nontrivial NS H flux. The action of the duality group on the topology and H flux of the corresponding type II and heterotic string backgrounds is determined. The topology change is specialized to the case of supersymmetric T-fibered torsional string backgrounds with nontrivial H flux. We pro...
متن کاملGeneralised 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 کاملSuperfield T–Duality Rules in Ten Dimensions with One Isometry
In this contribution we present the superfield T-duality rules relating type IIA and type IIB supergravity potentials for the case when both type IIA and type IIB superspaces have (at least) one isometry direction. We also give a brief review of T–duality and discuss the main steps of our approach to the derivation of the superfield T–duality rules, including the treatment of T-duality as an op...
