T-duality for Principal Torus Bundles and Dimensionally Reduced Gysin Sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
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, nonassociative tori.

T-duality for Principal Torus Bundles
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.

متن کاملCharacteristic Numbers of a Homogeneous Space
Let G be a compact connected Lie group with maximal torus T , and H a closed subgroup containing T . We work out the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization formula for the homogeneous space G/H under the natural action of the maximal torus T . The computation gives explicit formulas for the ordinary and equivariant characteristic numbers of a homogeneous space. Let G be a compact connected Lie...
متن کاملE11 origin of Brane charges and U-duality multiplets
We derive general equations which determine the decomposition of the G +++ multiplet of brane charges into the sub-algebras that arise when the non-linearly realised G +++ theory is dimensionally reduced on a torus. We apply this to calculate the low level E 8 multiplets of brane charges that arise when the E +++ 8 , or E 11 , non-linearly realised theory is dimensionally reduced to three dimen...
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. ...
