We explicitly derive Lax pairs for string theories on Yang-Baxter deformed backgrounds, 1) gravity duals for noncommutative gauge theories, 2) $\gamma$-deformations of S$^5$, 3) Schr\"odinger spacetimes and 4) abelian twists of the global…
We consider quantization of open string theories in linear dilaton and constant antisymmetric tensor backgrounds and discuss the noncommutativity of space-time coordinates arising in such theories, including their relationship with…
We consider the T-duality transformations of the low-energy quantum string theory effective action in the presence of classical fundamental string source and demonstrate explicitly that T-duality still holds.
String Newton-Cartan holography is a new example of gauge/gravity duality relating non-relativistic string theory and gauge theories. We review how to construct a family of string and $p$-brane Newton-Cartan holographic dualities by…
We exhibit a simple class of exactly marginal "double-trace" deformations of two dimensional CFTs which have AdS_3 duals, in which the deformation is given by a product of left and right-moving U(1) currents. In this special case the…
We consider the problem of exact integration of the $T\bar{T}$-deformation of two dimensional quantum field theories, as well as some higher dimensional extensions in the form of $\det T$-deformations. When the action can be shown to only…
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 argue that higher-curvature terms in the gravitational Lagrangian lead, via non-relativistic gauge-gravity duality, to finite renormalization of the dynamical exponent of the dual conformal field theory. Our argument includes a proof of…
In recent years, there have been two independent but related developments in the study of irrelevant deformations in two dimensional quantum field theories (QFTs). The first development is the deformation of a two dimensional QFT by the…
We revisit the transformation rules of the metric and Kalb-Ramond field under T-duality, and express the corresponding relations in terms of the metric G and the field strength H=dB. In the course of the derivation, we find an explanation…
We explore two different problems in string theory in which duality relates an ordinary p-form in one theory to a self-dual (p+1)-form in another theory. One problem involves comparing D4-branes to M5-branes, and the other involves…
We study avatars of T-duality within Sen's formalism for self-dual field strengths in various dimensions. This formalism is shown to naturally accommodate the T-duality relation between Type IIA/IIB theories when compactified on a circle…
After a review of some topics concerning the phenomenological applications of perturbative string theory, I discuss to what extent all of it is affected by the recent developements in string dualities.
We gauge the non-abelian isometries of a sigma model with boundaries. Forcing the field strength of the gauge fields to vanish renders the gauged model equivalent to the ungauged one provided that boundary conditions are taken into account…
Given two conformal field theories related to each other by a marginal perturbation, and string field theories constructed around such backgrounds, we show how to construct explicit redefinition of string fields which relate these two…
I review recent progress on the connection between string theory and quantum chromodynamics in the context of the gauge/gravity duality. Emphasis is placed on conciseness and conceptual aspects rather than on technical details. Topics…
In this short article we develop recent proposals to relate Yang-Baxter sigma-models and non-abelian T-duality. We demonstrate explicitly that the holographic space-times associated to both (multi-parameter)-$\beta$-deformations and…
We derive the T-duality transformations that transform a general d=10 solution of the type-IIA string with one isometry to a solution of the type-IIB string with one isometry and vice versa. In contrast to other superstring theories, the…
In this paper, we use reduction by extended actions to give a construction of transitive Courant algebroids from string classes. We prove that T-duality commutes with the reductions and thereby determine global conditions for the existence…
We perform canonical analysis of non-relativistic string theory with non-relativistic world-sheet gravity. We determine structure of constraints and symplectic structure of canonical variables.
