T-duality and Generalized Complex Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
We find the explicit T-duality transformation in the phase space formulation of the N = (1, 1) sigma model. We also show that the T-duality transformation is a symplectomorphism and it is an element of O(d, d). Further, we find the explicit T-duality transformation of a generalized complex structure. We also show that the extended supersymmetry of the sigma model is preserved under the T-duality.

Se p 20 05 DUALITY AND EQUIVALENCE OF MODULE CATEGORIES IN NONCOMMUTATIVE GEOMETRY
This is the first in a series of papers that deals with duality statements such as Mukai-duality (T-duality, from algebraic geometry) and the Baum-Connes conjecture (from operator K-theory). These dualities are expressed in terms of categories of modules. In this paper, we develop a general framework needed to describe these dualities. In various geometric contexts, e.g. complex geometry, gener...
متن کاملT-duality, quotients and generalized Kähler geometry
In this paper we reopen the discussion of gauging the two-dimensional off-shell (2, 2) supersymmetric sigma models written in terms of semichiral superfields. The associated target space geometry of this particular sigma model is generalized Kähler (or bi-hermitean with two noncommuting complex structures). The gauging of the isometries of the sigma model is now done by coupling the semichiral ...
متن کاملReduction and Duality in Generalized Geometry
Extending our reduction construction in [15] to the Hamiltonian action of a Poisson Lie group, we show that generalized Kähler reduction exists even when only one generalized complex structure in the pair is preserved by the group action. We show that the constructions in string theory of the (geometrical) T -duality with H-fluxes for principle bundles naturally arise as reductions of factoriza...
متن کاملOn the Riemann tensor in double field theory
Double field theory provides T-duality covariant generalized tensors that are natural extensions of the scalar and Ricci curvatures of Riemannian geometry. We search for a similar extension of the Riemann curvature tensor by developing a geometry based on the generalized metric and the dilaton. We find a duality covariant Riemann tensor whose contractions give the Ricci and scalar curvatures, b...
