Quantum correction to generalized T-dualities

Abstract

Poisson-Lie duality is a generalization of abelian and non-abelian T-duality, and it can be viewed as a map between solutions of the low-energy effective equations of string theory, i.e. at the (super)gravity level. We show that this fact extends to the next order in α\alpha' (two loops in σ\sigma-model perturbation theory) provided that the map is corrected. The α\alpha'-correction to the map is induced by the anomalous Lorentz transformations of the fields that are necessary to go from a doubled O(D,D)O(D,D)-covariant formulation to the usual (super)gravity description.
