Poisson-Lie T-plurality for dressing cosets

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-06-15 v2

Abstract

The Poisson-Lie T-plurality is an equivalence of string theories on various cosets D/G~\mathcal{D}/\tilde{G}, D/G~\mathcal{D}/\tilde{G}', \cdots, where D\mathcal{D} is a Drinfel'd double and G~\tilde{G}, G~\tilde{G}', \cdots are maximal isotropic subgroups. This can be extended to the equivalence for dressing cosets, i.e., F\D/G~F\backslash\mathcal{D}/\tilde{G}, F\D/G~F\backslash\mathcal{D}/\tilde{G}', \cdots, where FF is an isotropic subgroup of D\mathcal{D}. We explore this extended Poisson-Lie T-plurality, clarifying the relation between several previous approaches. We propose a gauged sigma model for a general gauge group FF and obtain the formula for the metric and the B-field on the dressing coset. Using this formula and an ansatz for the dilaton, we show that the Poisson-Lie T-plurality for dressing cosets (with spectator fields) is a symmetry of double field theory. The formula for the R-R field strength is also proposed such that the equations of motion for the NS-NS fields are transformed covariantly. In addition, we provide specific examples of the PL T-plurality for dressing cosets.
