T-duality for Principal Torus Bundles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study T-duality for principal torus bundles with H-flux. We identify a subset of fluxes which are T-dualizable, and compute both the dual torus bundle as well as the dual H-flux. We briefly discuss the generalized Gysin sequence behind this construction and provide examples both of non T-dualizable and of T-dualizable H-fluxes.

T-duality for Principal Torus Bundles and Dimensionally Reduced Gysin Sequences
We reexamine the results on the global properties of T-duality for principal circle bundles in the context of a dimensionally reduced Gysin sequence. We will then construct a Gysin sequence for principal torus bundles and examine the consequences. In particular, we will argue that the T-dual of a principal torus bundle with nontrivial H-flux is, in general, a continuous field of noncommutative,...

متن کاملT-duality for Torus Bundles with H-fluxes via Noncommutative Topology
It is known that the T-dual of a circle bundle with H-flux (given by a Neveu-Schwarz 3-form) is the T-dual circle bundle with dual H-flux. However, it is also known that torus bundles with H-flux do not necessarily have a T-dual which is a torus bundle. A big puzzle has been to explain these mysterious “missing T-duals.” Here we show that this problem is resolved using noncommutative topology. ...
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...
متن کاملSpherical T-duality II: An infinity of spherical T-duals for non-principal SU(2)-bundles
Recently we initiated the study of spherical T-duality for spacetimes that are principal SU(2)-bundles [5]. In this paper, we extend spherical T-duality to spacetimes that are oriented non-principal SU(2)-bundles. There are several interesting new examples in this case and a new phenomenon appearing in the non-principal case is the existence of infinitely many spherical T-duals.
