T-duality and the exotic chiral de Rham complex
Abstract
Let be a principal circle bundle over a base manifold equipped with an integral closed -form called the flux. Let be the T-dual circle bundle over with flux . Han and Mathai recently constructed the -graded space of exotic differential forms . It has an additional -grading such that the degree zero component coincides with the space of invariant twisted differential forms , and it admits a differential that extends the twisted differential . The T-duality isomorphism of Bouwknegt, Evslin and Mathai extends to an isomorphism . In this paper, we introduce the exotic chiral de Rham complex which contains as the weight zero subcomplex. We give an isomorphism where denotes the twisted chiral de Rham complex of , which chiralizes the above T-duality map.
