T-duality of anomalous Chern-Simons couplings

Abstract

It is known that the anomalous D$_p$-brane Chern-Simons couplings are not consistent with the standard rules of T-duality. Using compatibility of these couplings with the linear T-duality transformations, the B-field gauge transformations and with the general coordinate transformations as guiding principles we find new couplings at order $O(\alpha'^2)$ for ${\cal C}^{(p-3)}$, ${\cal C}^{(p-1)}$, ${\cal C}^{(p+1)}$ and ${\cal C}^{(p+3)}$.
