Jacobi-Lie T-plurality

Abstract

We propose a Leibniz algebra, to be called DD^++, which is a generalization of the Drinfel’d double. We find that there is a one-to-one correspondence between a DD^++ and a Jacobi–Lie bialgebra, extending the known correspondence between a Lie bialgebra and a Drinfel’d double. We then construct generalized frame fields E_A{}^M\in\text{O}(D,D)\times\mathbb{R}^+EAM∈O(D,D)×ℝ+ satisfying the algebra \hat{\pounds}_{E_A}E_B = - X_{AB}{}^C\,E_C£̂EAEB=−XABCEC, where X_{AB}{}^CXABC are the structure constants of the DD^++ and \hat{\pounds}£̂ is the generalized Lie derivative in double field theory. Using the generalized frame fields, we propose the Jacobi–Lie TT-plurality and show that it is a symmetry of double field theory. We present several examples of the Jacobi–Lie TT-plurality with or without Ramond–Ramond fields and the spectator fields.
