Abstract

We consider 3- and 6-vector deformations of 11-dimensional supergravity backgrounds of the form M5×M6M_5\times M_6 admitting at least 3 Killing vectors. Using flux formulation of the E6(6){}_{6(6)} exceptional field theory we derive (sufficient) conditions for the deformations to generate a solution. In the group manifold case these generalisations of the classical Yang-Baxter equation for the case of r-matrices with 3 and 6 indices are shown to reproduce those obtained from exceptional Drinfeld algebra for E6(6){}_{6(6)}. In general we see an additional constraint, which might be related to higher exceptional Drinfeld algebras.
