A large class of the recently found unimodular nonabelian homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformations of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring can be realized as sequences of noncommuting TsT transformations. I show that many of them are duals to various…

We study Yang-Baxter deformations of the flat space string that result in exactly solvable models, finding the Nappi-Witten model and its higher dimensional generalizations. We then consider the spectra of these models obtained by canonical…
Yang-Baxter string sigma-models provide a systematic way to deform coset geometries, such as $AdS_p \times S^p$, while retaining the $\sigma$-model integrability. It has been shown that the Yang-Baxter deformation in target space is simply…
This thesis deals with a class of integrable field theories called models with twist function. The main examples of such models are integrable non-linear sigma models, such as the Principal Chiral Model, and their deformations. A first…
The Yang-Baxter $\sigma$-model is a systematic way to generate integrable deformations of AdS$_5\times$S$^5$. We recast the deformations as seen by open strings, where the metric is undeformed AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ with constant string…
We discuss the new integrable boundary conditions for the O(N) nonlinear $\sigma$ model and related solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation, which were presented in our previous paper hep-th/0108039.
We introduce non-degenerate solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation in the setting of symmetric monoidal categories. Our theory includes non-degenerate set-theoretical solutions as basic examples. However, infinite families of non-degenerate…
This paper studies operator forms of the nonhomogeneous associative classical Yang-Baxter equation (nhacYBe), extending and generalizing such studies for the classical Yang-Baxter equation and associative Yang-Baxter equation that can be…
We describe a unifying framework for the systematic construction of integrable deformations of integrable $\sigma$-models within the Hamiltonian formalism. It applies equally to both the `Yang-Baxter' type as well as `gauged WZW' type…
The Drinfeld twist for the opposite quasi-Hopf algebra is determined and is shown to be related to the (second) Drinfeld twist. The twisted Drinfeld twist is investigated. In the quasi-triangular case it is shown that the Drinfeld u…
In this paper we discuss the refined analytic torsion on an odd dimensional compact oriented Riemannian manifold with boundary under some assumption. For this purpose we introduce two boundary conditions which are complementary to each…
We develop a new approach to Baxter Q-operators by relating them to the theory of Yangians, which are the simplest examples for quantum groups. Here we open up a new chapter in this theory and study certain degenerate solutions of the…
Yang-Baxter sigma models, proposed by Klimcik and Delduc-Magro-Vicedo, have been recognized as a powerful framework for studying integrable deformations of two-dimensional non-linear sigma models. In this short article, as an important…
In this note we give an explicit formula for the preserved Killing spinors in deformed string theory backgrounds corresponding to integrable Yang--Baxter deformations realized via (sequences of) TsT transformations. The Killing spinors can…
An O-operator is a relative version of a Rota-Baxter operator and, in the Lie algebra context, is originated from the operator form of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We generalize the well-known construction of dendriform dialgebras…
We introduce notions of ${\mathcal O}$-operators of the Loday algebras including the dendriform algebras and quadri-algebras as a natural generalization of Rota-Baxter operators. The invertible $\mathcal O$-operators give a sufficient and…
Weighted Rota-Baxter operators on associative algebras are closely related to modified Yang-Baxter equations, splitting of algebras, weighted infinitesimal bialgebras, and play an important role in mathematical physics. For any $\lambda \in…
We consider the Dirichlet to Neumann operator for abelian Yang- Mills boundary conditions. We treat the case for space-time manifolds with general smooth boundary components. The aim is constructing a complex structure for the symplectic…
The rules for Yang-Baxter (YB) deformation for a generic Green-Schwarz string sigma model has been obtained recently. We show that the deformation can be described through the action of a coordinate dependent $O(d,d)$ matrix on the target…
