U-Duality of Born-Infeld on the Noncommutative Two-Torus

preprint1998arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss Born-Infeld on the noncommutative two-torus as a description of compactified string theory. We show that the resulting theory, including the fluctuations, is manifestly invariant under the T-duality group SO(2,2;Z). The BPS mass even has a full SL(3,Z)xSL(2,Z) U-duality symmetry. The direct identification of the noncommutative parameter θwith the B-field modulus however seems to be problematic at finite volume.
