Classical Yang-Baxter equation from beta-supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-01-29 v3

Abstract

Yang-Baxter deformations of superstring sigma-models have recently inspired a supergravity solution generating technique. Using the open/closed string map and a Killing bi-vector as a deformation parameter, new solutions can be built, such that the (generalised) supergravity field equations were conjectured to always reduce to the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE). In this work we provide a proof of this conjecture, using a systematic approach based on the so-called β\beta-supergravity, which is a dynamical theory for the field βmn\beta^{mn} instead of the NSNS 2-form bmnb_{mn}.
