A Manin triples (D; g; ~ g) is a bialgebra (g; ~ g which don't intersect each others and a direct sum of this bialgebra D = g ~ g). If the corresponding Lie groups have a Poisson structure, they are called Poisson-Lie groups. A Poisson-Lie…
We describe a simple procedure for constructing a Lax pair for suitable 2-dimensional $\sigma$-models appearing in Poisson-Lie T-duality
In this paper we investigate Poisson-Lie transformation of dilaton and vector field J appearing in Generalized Supergravity Equations. While the formulas appearing in literature work well for isometric sigma models, we present examples for…
Topological defects have long been known to encode symmetries and dualities between physical systems. In the context of string theory, defects have been intensively studied at the level of the worldsheet. Although marked by a number of…
We show that the so called $\lambda$ deformed $\sigma$-model as well as the $\eta$ deformed one belong to a class of the ${\cal E}$-models introduced in the context of the Poisson-Lie-T-duality. The $\lambda$ and $\eta$ theories differ…
We present a class of static, spherically symmetric, non-singular solutions of the tree-level string effective action, truncated to first order in $\alpha'$. In the string frame the solutions approach asymptotically (at $r\to 0$ and $r\to…
Conditions for the gluing matrix defining consistent boundary conditions of two-dimensional nonlinear sigma-models are analyzed and reformulated. Transformation properties of the right-invariant fields under Poisson-Lie T-plurality are used…
We realize the string/$(D-5)$-brane duality on the action level between the $T^{10-D}$-compactified heterotic string effective action and the $(D-5)$- brane effective action in $D$ dimensions by managing a Lagrange multiplier field. A dual…
Buscher duality is a sigma-model duality, implemented by transformation of the target space. Not only in the case of a flat target space, but in a general background, should the Buscher duality reduce to the T-duality familiar in the…
We construct several solutions of effective actions for string theories beyond the supergravity approximation utilizing the framework of the Double Field Theory (DFT). The DFT effective actions, which are well suited for accommodating…
Recent work on the action of T duality on Dirichlet-branes is generalized to the case in which the open string satisfies boundary conditions that are neither Neumann nor Dirichlet. This is achieved by implementing T duality as a canonical…
The aim of this work is to achieve a formulation of the bosonic string theory in which T-duality appears as a manifest symmetry. Two models exhibiting this property are discussed. The first is based on the stringy extension of the…
A description of dual non-Abelian duality is given, based on the notion of the Drinfeld double. The presentation basically follows the original paper \cite{KS2}, written in collaboration with P. \v Severa, but here the emphasis is put on…
The formalism of graded Poisson-sigma models allows the construction of N=(2,2) dilaton supergravity in terms of a minimal number of fields. For the gauged chiral U(1) symmetry the full action, involving all fermionic contributions, is…
Double Field Theory is a manifestly T-duality invariant formulation of string theory in which the effective theory at any order of $\alpha'$ is invariant under global $O(D,D)$ transformations and ought to be invariant under gauge…
We show that the 2d Poisson Sigma Model on a Poisson groupoid arises as an effective theory of the 3d Courant Sigma Model associated to the double of the underlying Lie bialgebroid. This field-theoretic result follows from a Lie-theoretic…
In string theory it is known that abelian isometries in the sigma model lead to target space duality. We generalize this duality to backgrounds with non--abelian isometries. The procedure we follow consists of gauging the isometries of the…
Poisson-Lie T-duality in quantum N=2 superconformal WZNW models is considered. The Poisson-Lie T-duality transformation rules of the super-Kac-Moody algebra currents are found from the conjecture that, as in the classical case, the quantum…
We construct a new class of two-dimensional field theories with target spaces that are finite multiparameter deformations of the usual coset G/H-spaces. They arise naturally, when certain models, related by Poisson-Lie T-duality, develop a…
We find the effective action for any D-brane in a general bosonic background of supergravity. The results are explicit in component fields up to second order in the fermions and are obtained in a covariant manner. No interaction terms…
