Abstract: (arXiv)
When reduced from to dimensions tree-level string theory exhibits an symmetry. This symmetry, which is closely related to T-duality, appears only after certain field redefinitions. We find a simple form for a subset of these redefinitions at order and show that they cannot be lifted to ten dimensions. This is inconsistent with ``manifestly T-duality invariant'' approaches such as generalized geometry (in the uncompactified setting). Such formulations therefore seem not to be the correct language to describe string theory.Note:
