The description of the two sets of (4,0) supersymmetric models that are related by non-abelian duality transformations is given. The (4,0) supersymmetric WZNW is constructed and the formulation of the (4,0) supersymmetric sigma model dual…
A well known result of Drinfeld classifies Poisson Lie groups $(H,\Pi)$ in terms of Lie algebraic data in the form of Manin triples $(\mathfrak{d},\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h})$; he also classified compatible Poisson structures on…
Using a recently developed formulation of double field theory in superspace, the graviton, $B$-field, gravitini, dilatini, and Ramond-Ramond bispinor are encoded in a single generalized supervielbein. Duality transformations are encoded as…
By calculating inequivalent classical r-matrices for the $gl(2,\mathbb{R})$ 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…
Poisson-Lie T-duality/plurality was recently generalized to Jacobi-Lie T-plurality formulated in terms of Double Field Theory and based on Leibniz algebras given by structure coefficients $f_{ab}{}^{c},f_{c}{}^{ab},$ and $Z_a,Z^a$. We…
A Lie (super)algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form will be called a NIS-Lie (super)algebra. The double extension of a NIS-Lie (super)algebra is the result of simultaneously adding to it a central element and an…
In this work we study a particular class of Lie bialgebras arising from Hermitian structures on Lie algebras such that the metric is ad-invariant. We will refer to them as Lie bialgebras of complex type. These give rise to Poisson Lie…
We generalize the Poisson-Lie T-duality by making use of the structure of the affine Poisson group which is the concept introduced some time ago in Poisson geometry as a generalization of the Poisson-Lie group. We also introduce a new…
By generalizing and extending some of the earlier results derived by Manin and Merkulov, a twistor description is given of four-dimensional N-extended (gauged) self-dual supergravity with and without cosmological constant. Starting from the…
The notions of transposed Hom-Poisson and Hom-pre-Lie Poisson algebras are introduced. Their bimodules and matched pairs are defined and the relevant properties and theorems are given. The notion of Manin triple of transposed Hom-Poisson…
We show that for every positive curvature Kahler-Einstein manifold in dimension 2n there is a countably infinite class of associated Sasaki-Einstein manifolds X_{2n+3} in dimension 2n+3. When n=1 we recover a recently discovered family of…
We define double (central and cocentral) extensions of Manin pairs introduced by Drinfeld, attached to curves and meromorphic differentials. We define ``infinite twistings'' of these pairs and quantize them in the $sl_{2}$ case, adapting…
Global issues of the Poisson-Lie T-duality are addressed. It is shown that oriented open strings propagating on a group manifold $G$ are dual to $D$-brane - anti-$D$-brane pairs propagating on the dual group manifold $\ti G$. The $D$-branes…
We give a unified division algebraic description of (D=3, N=1,2,4,8), (D=4, N=1,2,4), (D=6, N=1,2) and (D=10, N=1) super Yang-Mills theories. A given (D=n+2, N) theory is completely specified by selecting a pair (A_n, A_{nN}) of division…
We introduce a doubled formalism for the bosonic sector of the maximal supergravities, in which a Hodge dual potential is introduced for each bosonic field (except for the metric). The equations of motion can then be formulated as a twisted…
After reviewing some of the fundamental aspects of Drinfel'd doubles and Poisson-Lie T-duality, we describe the three-dimensional isotropic rigid rotator on $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ starting from a non-Abelian deformation of the natural carrier…
It is natural to consider extending the typical construction of relative Poisson algebras from commutative differential algebras to the context of bialgebras. The known bialgebra structures for relative Poisson algebras, namely relative…
We consider the group theoretical properties of R--R scalars of string theories in the low-energy supergravity limit and relate them to the solvable Lie subalgebra $\IG_s\subset U$ of the U--duality algebra that generates the scalar…
An overview of matter-coupled ${\cal N}=2$ supergravity theories with 8 real supercharges, in 4,5 and 6 dimensions is given. The construction of the theories by superconformal methods is explained from basic principles. Special geometry is…
Poisson-Lie (PL) T-duality has received much attention over the last five years in connection with integrable string worldsheet theories. At the level of the worldsheet, the algebraic structure underpinning these connections is made…
