Spherical T-Duality and the spherical Fourier-Mukai transform
Abstract
In earlier papers, we introduced spherical T-duality, which relates pairs of the form consisting of an oriented -bundle and a 7-cocycle on called the 7-flux. Intuitively, the spherical T-dual is another such pair and spherical T-duality exchanges the 7-flux with the Euler class, upon fixing the Pontryagin class and the second Stiefel-Whitney class. Unless , not all pairs admit spherical T-duals and the spherical T-duals are not always unique. In this paper, we define a canonical Poincar\'e virtual line bundle on (actually also for ) and the spherical Fourier-Mukai transform, which implements a degree shifting isomorphism in K-theory on the trivial -bundle. This is then used to prove that all spherical T-dualities induce natural degree-shifting isomorphisms between the 7-twisted K-theories of the pairs and when , improving our earlier results.
