Abstract

By calculating inequivalent classical r-matrices for the gl(2,R)gl(2,\mathbb{R}) Lie algebra as solutions of (modified) classical Yang-Baxter equation ((m)CYBE)), we classify the YB deformations of Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model on the GL(2,R)GL(2,\mathbb{R}) Lie group in twelve inequivalent families. Most importantly, it is shown that each of these models can be obtained from a Poisson-Lie T-dual σ\sigma-model in the presence of the spectator fields when the dual Lie group is considered to be Abelian, i.e. all deformed models have Poisson-Lie symmetry just as undeformed WZW model on the GL(2,R)GL(2,\mathbb{R}). In this way, all deformed models are specified via spectator-dependent background matrices. For one case, the dual background is clearly found.
