A Dual Formulation for (p and D)-branes Via Target-Space Field Theory
Javier Borlaf
It is shown how some field theories in the target-space induce the splitting of the space-time into a continuous of branes, which can be p-branes or D-branes depending on what the…
Killings, Duality and Characteristic Polynomials
E. Alvarez, J. Borlaf, J. H. León
In this paper the complete geometrical setting of (lowest order) abelian T-duality is explored with the help of some new geometrical tools (the reduced formalism). In particular, a…
Geometry of T-duality
Javier Borlaf
A "reduced" differential geometry adapted to the presence of abelian isometries is constructed.Classical T-duality diagonalizes in this setting, allowing us to get conveniently the…
T-Duality without Quantum Corrections
E. Alvarez, J. Borlaf, J. H. León
It is a well known fact that the classical (``Buscher'') transformations of T-duality do receive, in general, quantum corrections. It is interesting to check whether classical T-du…
Aspects of T-duality in Open Strings
J. Borlaf, Y. Lozano
We study T-duality for open strings in various -manifolds in the approach of canonical transformations. We show that this approach is particularly useful to study the mapping of…
