T-Duality of Green-Schwarz Superstrings on AdS(d) x S(d) x M(10-2d)
Abstract
We verify the self-duality of Green-Schwarz supercoset sigma models on AdS backgrounds (d=2,3,5) under combined bosonic and fermionic T-dualities without gauge fixing kappa symmetry. We also prove this property for superstrings on AdS (d=2,3) described by supercoset sigma models with the isometries governed by the exceptional Lie supergroups (d=2) and (d=3), which requires an additional T-dualisation along one of the spheres. Then, by taking into account the contribution of non-supercoset fermionic modes (up to the second order), we provide evidence for the T-self-duality of the complete type IIA and IIB Green-Schwarz superstring theory on AdS (d=2,3) backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond fluxes. Finally, applying the Buscher-like rules to T-dualising supergravity fields, we prove the T-self-duality of the whole class of the AdS superbackgrounds with Ramond-Ramond fluxes in the context of supergravity.
