5 motivation :: dualities Duality :: two different theories describe the same physics. They play an important role in understanding string theory. M-theory Type IIA T Type IIB S Het E 8 E 8 T Het SO(32) S Type I

11 t-duality :: circle Consider the torus partition function of the bosonic string (with = 1 + i 2 ) Z( 1, 2 )=Tr H e 2 2H e +2 1P. For a compactification on a circle with radius R, it reads Z(, ) = 1 p ( ) 2 X m,n2z exp + i apple m 2 0 R + Rn 0 2! exp apple i m 2 0 R Rn 0 2!. This partition function is invariant under the replacement R! 0 R.
12 t-duality :: torus T-duality can be extended from the circle to toroidal backgrounds. R (G,B) For constant metric G and Kalb-Ramond field B, the partition function is invariant under O(D,D) transformations of H = G BG 1 B +BG 1 G 1 B G 1!.
13 t-duality :: curved background I For general CFT backgrounds, with non-constant metric and B-field, one considers Z 1 h S = 4 0 G ij dx i ^?dx j + ib ij dx i ^ dx j + 0 R?1i. Gauging an isometry and integrating out the gauge field, gives the Buscher rules G = 1 G, G a = B a G, B a = G a G, G ab = G ab G a G b B a B b G, B ab = B ab G a B b B a G b G. The dual theory is conformal, if the dilaton is shifted as = log r det G det G. Buscher , 1987, 1988
14 t-duality :: curved background II When studying collective T-duality transformations, constraints become apparent :: isometries k (can be non-abelian [k,k ] L = f k ) L k G =0, k H = dv, L k =0, gauge invariance L k[ v ] = f v, k[ f ] v = 1 3 k k k H. EP

17 dft :: idea Main idea :: make T-duality into a manifest symmetry of an action.
18 dft :: idea Main idea :: make T-duality into a manifest symmetry of an action. O(D,D) Siegel Hull, Zwiebach Hohm, Hull, Zwiebach

20 dft :: basics DFT is defined on a space with a doubled number of coordinates ( i =1,...,D ) X I =( x i,x i ) x i x i ordinary coordinates, winding coordinates. The metric and B-field are arranged into a generalized metric H IJ = G ij G ik B kj B ik G kj G ij B ik G kl B lj!. The dilaton is combined with the metric G into e 2 d = p det Ge 2.
21 dft :: vielbeins The generalized metric can be expressed using generalized vielbeins E A I as follows H IJ = E A I S AB E B J E A I = ea i 0 e a i e k a B ki S AB = s ab 0 0 s ab s ab = e a i G ij e b j For later reference, the O(D,D) invariant form used here reads IJ = 0 i j i j 0.
22 dft :: symmetries An action for DFT is obtained by invoking symmetries :: 1. invariance under local diffeomorphisms ( x i,x i )! ( x i + i (X),x i + i (X)), 2. invariance under global O(D,D) transformations. Closure of the diffeomorphism algebra requires the strong i i B i i B =0. Different actions exist equivalent modulo total derivatives and the strong constraint.

24 dft :: fluxes Expectation values for F ABC are commonly denoted as F abc = H abc F c c ab = F ab F bc bc a = Q a F abc = R abc geometric geometric non-geometric non-geometric H-flux F-flux Q-flux R-flux
25 dft :: action r-r In the R-R sector, the action is expressed through the field strengths G = X n 1 n! G(n) i 1...i n e a1 i 1...e an i n a 1...a n 0i. Gauge potentials C can be defined as G = /r C, /r = A D A 1 2 A F a 1 6 ABC F ABC. The action (type IIB, relevant for the following) takes the form S RR = 1 2apple 2 10 Z d D X apple SAA S BB0 S CC0 G ABC G A 0 B 0 C 0. Rocen, West Hohm, (Kwak,) Zwiebach Geissbühler Jeon, Lee, Park
26 dft :: summary Summary :: DFT is defined on a doubled space and is O(D,D) invariant. The strong constraint has to be imposed. Actions for the NS-NS and R-R sector have been given. Geometric & non-geometric fluxes can be incorporated.
