    Strings in Spacetime Cotangent Bundle and T-duality

    A simple geometric description of T-duality is given by identifying the cotangent bundles of the original and the dual manifold. Strings propagate naturally in the cotangent bundle and the original and the dual string phase spaces are obtained by different projections. Buscher's transformation follows readily and it is literally projective. As an application of the formalism, we prove that the duality is a symplectomorphism of the string phase spaces.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX (1 reference added
