Abstract

In this article we consider closed bosonic string in the presence of constant metric and Kalb-Ramond field with one non-zero component, Bxy=HzB_{xy}=Hz, where field strength HH is infinitesimal. Using Buscher T-duality procedure we dualize along xx and yy directions and using generalized T-duality procedure along zz direction imposing trivial winding conditions. After first two T-dualizations we obtain QQ flux theory which is just locally well defined, while after all three T-dualizations we obtain nonlocal RR flux theory. Origin of non-locality is variable ΔV\Delta V defined as line integral, which appears as an argument of the background fields. Rewriting T-dual transformation laws in the canonical form and using standard Poisson algebra, we obtained that QQ flux theory is commutative one and the RR flux theory is noncommutative and nonassociative one. Consequently, there is a correlation between non-locality and closed string noncommutativity and nonassociativity.
