T-Duality in Sigma-Models with Kaluza-Klein Metric as Electric-Magnetic Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the T-duality in σ-model with Kaluza-Klein metric, without or with a torsion term, can be interpreted as electric-magnetic duality for some of their solitonic solutions. Actually Buscher’s duality transformation interchanges the topological and Noether charges. ∗E-mail: tabriz [email protected]

Worldsheet Instanton Corrections to the Kaluza-Klein Monopole
Abstract The Kaluza-Klein monopole is a well known object in both gravity and string theory, related by T-duality to a “smeared” NS5-brane which retains the isometry around the duality circle. As the true NS5-brane solution is localized at a point on the circle, duality implies that the Kaluza-Klein monopole should show some corresponding behavior. In this paper, we express the Kaluza-Klein mon...
متن کاملUnwinding Strings and T-duality of Kaluza-Klein and H-Monopoles
A fundamental string with non-zero winding number can unwind in the presence of a Kaluza-Klein monopole. We use this fact to deduce the presence of a zero mode for the Kaluza-Klein monopole corresponding to excitations carrying H-electric charge and we study the coupling of this zero mode to fundamental strings. We also a describe a T-dual process in which the momentum of a fundamental string “...
متن کاملBranes, Fluxes and Duality in M(atrix)-Theory
We use the T-duality transformation which relates M-theory on T 3 to M-theory on a second T 3 with inverse volume to test the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind suggestion for the matrix model description of M-theory. We find evidence that T-duality is realized as S-duality for U(∞) N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills in 3+1D. We argue that Kaluza Klein states of gravitons correspond to electric fluxes, wrappe...
متن کاملT - DUALITY OF p - BRANES
We investigate possible existence of duality symmetries which exchange the Kaluza-Klein modes with the wrapping modes of a BPS saturated p-brane on a torus. Assuming the validity of the conjectured U-duality symmetries of type II and heterotic string theories and M-theory, we show that for a BPS saturated p-brane there is an SL(2,Z) symmetry that mixes the Kaluza-Klein modes on a (p+1) dimensio...
متن کاملDuality between magnetic field and rotation
It is shown that in 5D Kaluza-Klein theory there are everywhere regular wormhole-like solutions in which the magnetic field at the center is the origin of a rotation on the peripheral part of these solutions. The time on the peripheral part is topologically non-trivial and magnetic field is suppressed in comparison with the electric one.
