Abstract
AbstractAvatars of T‐duality within Sen's formalism for self‐dual field strengths in various dimensions are studied. This formalism is shown to naturally accommodate the T‐duality relation between Type IIA/IIB theories when compactified on a circle without the need for imposing the self‐duality constraint by hand, as is usually done. The study of this formalism is continued on two‐dimensional target spacetimes and its study as a worldsheet theory is initiated. In particular, it is shown that Sen's action provides a natural worldsheet‐based understanding of twisted and asymmetrically twisted strings. Finally, it is shown that the ‐deformed theory of left‐ and right‐chiral bosons described in Sen's formalism possesses a scaling limit that is related via field‐theoretic T‐duality to a recently studied integrable deformation of quantum mechanics.
