An O(D, D) invariant Hamiltonian action for the superstring

Abstract: We construct O(D, D) invariant actions for the bosonic string and RNS superstring, using Hamiltonian methods and ideas from double field theory. In this framework the doubled coordinates of double field theory appear as coordinates on phase space and T-duality becomes a canonical transformation. Requiring the algebra of constraints to close leads to the section condition, which splits the phase space coordinates into spacetime coordinates and momenta.

“…Examples include Yang-Mills [16,17], fermions [18] (c.f. [19]), R-R sector [20][21][22][23], full-order supersymmetrizations [24,25], point particles [26,27], fundamental strings [28][29][30][31][32][33], and the Standard Model itself [34]. Naturally, the Einstein Field Equations are augmented to an O(D, D)-symmetric form [15] (c.f.…”

“…The gauged one-form can be then used to construct an SL(N ) duality manifest world-volume action for an (N − 3)-brane propagating in the extended-yet-gauged spacetime, as done for a string in [30] (cf. [82][83][84]). The notion of the cosmological 'constant' depends on the kind of differential geometry in use [66].…”
