Doubled α ′-geometry

We develop doubled-coordinate field theory to determine the α ′ corrections to the massless sector of oriented bosonic closed string theory. Our key tool is a string current algebra of free left-handed bosons that makes O(D,D) T-duality manifest. While T-dualities are unchanged, diffeomorphisms and...
