Abstract

We investigate comprehensive relations among T-duality, complex and bi-hermitian structures (J+,J)(J_+, J_-) in two-dimensional N=(2,2)\mathcal{N} =(2,2) sigma models with/without twisted chiral multiplets. The bi-hermitian structures (J+,J)(J_+,J_-) embedded in generalized K\"{a}hler structures (J+,J)(\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 K\"{a}hler structures are apparent. We also study the bi-hypercomplex and hyperk\"{a}hler cases in N=(4,4)\mathcal{N} = (4,4) theories. They are expressed, as a T-duality covariant fashion, in the generalized hyperk\"{a}hler structures and form the split-bi-quaternion algebras. As a concrete example, we show the explicit T-duality relation between the hyperk\"{a}hler 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.
