Solution-generating transformations in duality-invariant theories and the fluid/gravity correspondenceFitzhardinge-Berkeley, Joel Alan January 2015 (has links)
We explore dualities and solution-generating transformations in various contexts. Our focus is on the T-duality invariant form of supergravity known as double fi eld theory, the SL(5)-invariant M-theory extended geometry, and metrics dual under the fluid/gravity correspondence to an incompressible Navier-Stokes fluid. In double fi eld theory (DFT), a wave solution is shown to embed both the F1 string and the pp-wave. For the former, the Goldstone mode dynamics reproduce the duality symmetric string introduced by Tseytlin. We consider solution-generating techniques in DFT in the presence of an isometry, firstly via Buscher-like transformations in the DFT string -model, and secondly via the DFT equations of motion. In the SL(5)-invariant geometry, we provide a chain rule derivation of the covariant equations of motion, and present a wave solution embedding the M2 brane. Lastly, solution-generating transformations for metrics with an isometry are considered in the context of the fluid/gravity correspondence. Our focus is on the vacuum Rindler metric dual to a codimension one Navier- Stokes fluid. In particular, when there is a radially directed Killing vector, the dual fluid is found to exhibit an energy scaling invariance valid to all orders in the hydrodynamic expansion.
