Abstract

We study the geometries obtained by performing super non-Abelian T-duality of the Principal Chiral Model on OSp(12)(1|2). While the initial model represents an appropriate 3D supergravity background, interpretable as the superspace version of AdS3_{3}, the T-dual model fails solving the 3D supergravity torsion constraints. We argue that this has to do with a factorisation pattern taking place under dualisation: the dual 3D geometry can be rewritten as the supersymmetric version of AdS2_{2}, satisfying the supergravity constraints, fibered over what we interpret as the superspace equivalent of the standard bosonic line. We discuss an interesting connection between T-duals of generic Principal Chiral Models and Poisson sigma models. We exploit it to show that in a suitable limit the dual action studied in this work gives rise to JT (super)gravity.
