Abstract
We investigate the cosmological solutions coming from the double field theory equations of motion after coupling a matter source to them. Assuming constant dilaton and imposing the section condition with respect to the regular coordinates leads to a universe dominated by momentum modes while imposing the section condition with respect to the dual coordinates naturally leads to a universe dominated by momentum modes. We show that both regimes have asymptotic behaviours related by T-duality. This hints towards defining a duality between the clocks considered in each regime and interpreting winding modes as being radiation from the point of view of a Euclidean time.
