Polar-coordinate T-dual background

ID: polar-coordinate-t-dual-background

The flat polar metric has a circle isometry away from . Its local Buscher rules give the displayed dual metric and dilaton. The dual Ricci tensor has components and , while the dilaton Hessian has components and . Thus the leading metric-dilaton Weyl condition holds despite nonzero curvature. Flat spectators complete a critical target; the scalar anomaly condition also holds because , and . The construction is local on , excluding the degenerating circle.
