N = (4, 4) Supersymmetry and T-Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
A sigma model with four-dimensional target space parametrized by chiral and twisted chiral N =(2, 2) superfields can be extended to N =(4, 4) supersymmetry off-shell, but this is not true for a model of semichiral fields, where the N = (4, 4) supersymmetry can only be realized on-shell. The two models can be related to each other by T-duality. In this paper we perform a duality transformation from a chiral and twisted chiral model with off-shell N = (4, 4) supersymmetry to a semichiral model. We find that additional non-linear terms must be added to the original transformations to obtain a semichiral model with N =(4, 4) supersymmetry, and that the algebra closes on-shell as a direct consequence of the T-duality.

Duality and Restoration of Manifest Supersymmetry
World–sheet and spacetime supersymmetries that are manifest in some string backgrounds may not be so in their T–duals. Nevertheless, they always remain symmetries of the underlying conformal field theory. In previous work the mechanism by which T–duality destroys manifest supersymmetry and gives rise to non–local realizations was found. We give the general conditions for a 2-dim N = 1 supersymm...
متن کاملT–duality and World–sheet Supersymmetry
Four–dimensional string backgrounds with local realizations of N = 4 world– sheet supersymmetry have, in the presence of a rotational Killing symmetry, only one complex structure which is an SO(2) singlet, while the other two form an SO(2) doublet. Although N = 2 world–sheet supersymmetry is always preserved under Abelian T–duality transformations, N = 4 breaks down to N = 2 in the rotational c...
متن کاملDual Pairs of Type II String Compactification
Using a U -duality symmetry of type II compactification on T 4 represented by triality action on the T -duality group, and applying the adiabatic argument we construct dual pairs of type II compactifications in lower dimensions. The simplicity of this construction makes it an ideal set up for testing various conjectures about string dualities. In some of these models the type II string has a pe...
متن کاملN = 1 String Duality
We discuss duality between Type IIA string theory, eleven-dimensional supergravity, and heterotic string theory in four spacetime dimensions with N = 1 supersymmetry. We find theories whose infrared limit is trivial at enhanced symmetry points as well as theories with N = 1 supersymmetry but the field content of N = 4 theories which flow to the N = 4 fixed line in the infrared.
متن کاملT-duality without Quantum Corrections
It is a well known fact that the classical (“Buscher”) transformations of T-duality do receive, in general, quantum corrections. It is interesting to check whether classical T-duality can be exact as a quantum symmetry. The natural starting point is a σ-model with N=4 world sheet supersymmetry. Remarkably, we find that (owing to the fact that, contrary to a widespread belief, N=4 models with to...
