Abstract

We derive integrable deformations of the 2d Breitenlohner-Maison (BM) sigma model that describes the stationary, axisymmetric sector of 4d general relativity, as well as higher-rank generalisations thereof, using the framework of 4d Chern-Simons theory. In particular, we consider deformations of the boundary conditions and action of the 4d Cole-Weck model, which lead to deformations of the BM model associated with solutions to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous classical Yang-Baxter equations respectively.
