T-Duality for Transgressive Fibrations

  • Gil R. Cavalcanti

摘要

We extend the notion of topological T-duality from oriented sphere bundles to transgressive fibrations, a more general type fibration characterised by the abundance of transgressive elements. Examples of transgressive fibrations include principal \(\textrm{U}(n)\) U ( n ) -bundles therefore our notion of T-duality belongs to the realm of non-Abelian T-duality. We prove that transgressive T-duals have isomorphic twisted cohomology. We then introduce Clifford–Courant algebroids, show that one can assign such an algebroid to a transgressive fibration and that transgressive T-duals have isomorphic Clifford–Courant algebroids. We provide several examples illustrating different properties of T-dual spaces.
