T-duality of emergent gravities on nilmanifolds

We study the transport of generalized metrics between topological T-dual nilmanifolds through a Lie algebraic point of view. Emergent gravities are generalized metrics with symplectic B-fields. But this additional property might not be preserved by the aforementioned transport. We describe a necessary condition for it to happen and provide working examples on self-T-dual nilmanifolds with zero $H$-flux in both 4 and 6 dimensions. We also discuss how this procedure fails in the presence of a non-zero $H$-flux.

$T$-duality on nilmanifolds

We study generalized complex structures and $T$-duality (in the sense of Bouwknegt, Evslin, Hannabuss and Mathai) on Lie algebras and construct the corresponding Cavalcanti and Gualtieri map. Such a construction is called "Infinitesimal $T$-duality". As an application we deal with the problem of finding symplectic structures on 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras. We also give a criteria for the intregability of the infinitesimal $T$-duality of Lie algebras to topological $T$-duality of the associated nilmanifolds.
