abstract

We obtain the T-duality transformations of space-time spinors (the supersymmetry transformation parameters, gravitinos and dilatinos) of type-II theories in curved backgrounds with an isometry. The transformation of the spinor index is shown to be a consequence of the twist that T-duality introduces between the left and right-moving local Lorentz frames. The result is then used to derive the T-duality action on Ramond-Ramond field strengths and potentials in a simple way. We also discuss the massive IIA theory and, using duality, give a short derivation of ``mass''-dependent terms in the Wess-Zumino actions on the D-brane worldvolumes.

Exploring types I and IIA effective actions through T-duality

hep-th · 2024-12-10 · conditional · novelty 5.0

T-duality between type I on S^1 and type I' on S^1/Z2 determines all leading two-derivative couplings in the untwisted sectors, reproducing standard type I and type IIA actions except the IIA Chern-Simons term.
