For a nondegenerate isometry direction y and initially zero two-form, the local T-dual fields in alpha-prime-one units are gyy′​=1/gyy​, gyi′​=0, gij′​=gij​−gyi​gyj​/gyy​, Byi′​=gyi​/gyy​ and Bij′​=0. Gauging the isometry and eliminating its auxiliary connection derives these rules. The spectator metric is a Schur complement. The sign of the mixed two-form follows the multiplier and dual-coordinate orientation convention.
