Hyperkähler, Bi-hypercomplex, Generalized Hyperkähler Structures and T-duality

Abstract

We investigate comprehensive relations among T-duality, complex and bi-hermitian structures $(J_{+},J_{-})$ in two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ sigma models with/without twisted chiral multiplets. The bi-hermitian structures $(J_{+},J_{-})$ embedded in generalized Kähler structures $({\mathcal{J}}_{+},{\mathcal{J}}_{-})$ are organized into the algebra of the tri-complex numbers. We newly write down an analogue of the Buscher rule by which the T-duality transformation of the bi-hermitian and Kähler structures are apparent. We also study the bi-hypercomplex and hyperkähler cases in $\mathcal{N}=(4,4)$ theories. They are expressed, as a T-duality covariant fashion, in the generalized hyperkähler structures and form the split-bi-quaternion algebras. As a concrete example, we show the explicit T-duality relation between the hyperkähler structures of the KK-monopole (Taub-NUT space) and the bi-hypercomplex structures of the H-monopole (smeared NS5-brane). Utilizing this result, we comment on a T-duality relation for the worldsheet instantons in these geometries.
