Abstract

The doubled formulation of the worldsheet provides a description of string theory in which T-duality is promoted to a manifest symmetry. Here we extend this approach to N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}=(2,2) superspace providing a doubled formulation for bi-Hermitian/generalised K\"ahler target spaces. The theory is described by a single function, a doubled-generalised K\"ahler potential, supplemented with a manifestly N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}=(2,2) constraint. Several examples serve to illustrate this construction, including a discussion of the N=(2,2)\mathcal{N}=(2,2) description of T-folds.
