Real Baum-Connes assembly and T-duality for torus orientifolds. (English) Zbl 1326.46054

Summary: We show that the real Baum-Connes conjecture for abelian groups, possibly twisted by a cocycle, explains the isomorphisms of (twisted) \(KR\)-groups that underlie all T-dualities of torus orientifold string theories.
