abstract

Considering the gauge field and its dual in heterotic string theory as a unified field, we show that the equations of motion at the rational level contain a twisted differential with a novel degree seven twist. This generalizes the usual degree three twist that lifts to twisted K-theory and raises the natural question of whether at the integral level the abelianized gauge fields belong to a generalized cohomology theory. Some remarks on possible such extension are given.

The M-algebra is shown to be the brane-charge completion of the fully T-doubled super-spacetime, with the Poincaré super 2-form of T-duality lifted to a Poincaré super 3-form.
