Non-geometric fluxes, quasi-Hopf twist deformations, and nonassociative quantum mechanics
Non-geometric fluxes, quasi-Hopf twist deformations, and nonassociative quantum mechanics
We analyse the symmetries underlying nonassociative deformations of geometry in non-geometric R-flux compactifications which arise via T-duality from closed strings with constant geometric fluxes. Starting from the non-abelian Lie algebra of translations and Bopp shifts in phase space, together with a suitable cochain twist, we construct the quasi-Hopf algebra of …
