Abstract

We study the TT-dual completion of the four-dimensional N=1{\cal N}=1 type II effective potentials in the presence of (non-)geometric fluxes. First, we invoke a cohomology version of the TT-dual transformations among the various moduli, axions and the fluxes appearing in the type IIA and type IIB effective supergravities. This leads to some useful observations about a significant mixing of the standard NS-NS fluxes with the (non-)geometric fluxes on the mirror side. Further, using our TT-duality rules, we establish an explicit mapping among the FF-terms, DD-terms, tadpole conditions as well as the Bianchi identities of the two theories. Secondly, we propose what we call a set of "axionic flux polynomials", which depend on all the axionic moduli and the fluxes. This subsequently helps in presenting the two scalar potentials in a concise and manifestly TT-dual form, which can be directly utilized for various phenomenological purposes as we illustrate in a couple of examples.
