Conformal Courant Algebroids and Orientifold T-Duality

Abstract: We introduce conformal Courant algebroids, a mild generalization of Courant algebroids in which only a conformal structure rather than a bilinear form is assumed. We introduce exact conformal Courant algebroids and show they are classified by pairs (L, H) with L a flat line bundle and H ∈ H 3 (M, L) a degree 3 class with coefficients in L. As a special case gerbes for the crossed module (U(1) → Z2) can be used to twist T M ⊕ T * M into a conformal Courant algebroid. In the exact case there is a twisted cohomol… Show more

“…The key point relevant to the O-fold construction is that we should require the Y-tensor be preserved by whatever we are quotienting by, so that generalised diffeomorphisms are preserved as a symmetry of ExFT. This will of course be guaranteed if we only take quotients with respect to subgroups of E d(d) , but note that for O(d, d) [1,24], the Z 2 quotient leading to orientifolds is not an element of O(d, d), but does leave Y MN KL invariant. The coordinate dependence on the extended coordinates Y M is constrained by the section condition:…”

“…Local double field theory geometrizes the Kalb-Ramond B-field and T -duality, whereas exceptional field theories do the same thing for other sectors and U -duality by making use of different algebroids [4]. There are many other algebroid structures such as metric algebroids [5], dull alberoids [6], conformal Courant algebroids [7] that are used in the string or M theory literature. All of these are special cases for local pre-Leibniz algebroids as the latter is defined by using just a few axioms.…”
