Topological Spherical T-duality -- Dimension change from higher degree $H$-flux
Abstract
Topological Spherical T-duality was introduced by Bouwknegt, Evslin and Mathai in [BEM15] as an extension of topological T-duality from -bundles to -bundles endowed with closed 7-forms. This notion was further extended to sphere bundles by Lind, Sati and Westerland [LSW16] as a duality between -bundles endowed with closed -forms. We generalise this relation one step further and define T-duality for -bundles endowed with closed odd forms of arbitrary degree. The degree of the form determines the dimension of the fibers of the dual spaces. We show that -duals exist and, as in the previous cases, -dual spaces have isomorphic twisted cohomology. We finish by introducing a version of Courant algebroids which is compatible with spherical T-duality.
