Target space duality is one of the most profound properties of string theory. However it customarily requires that the background fields satisfy certain invariance conditions in order to perform it consistently; for instance the vector…
We discuss the application of T-duality to massive supersymmetric sigma models. In particular (1,1) supersymmetric models with off-shell central charges reveal an interesting structure. The T-duality transformations of the BPS states of…
The classical effective action in string theory is background-independent, and its invariance under the Buscher rules constrains its form up to a few parameters. This work investigates how this picture changes at the quantum level, where…
The theory described by the sum of the Einstein-Hilbert action and the action of conformal scalar field possesses the duality symmetry which includes some special conformal transformation of the metric, and also inversion of scalar field…
We calculate the corrections to the Higgs mass in general theories restricted to the case of massless gauge bosons (the gaugeless limit). We present analytic expressions for the two-loop tadpole diagrams, and corresponding expressions for…
We review the algebraic approach to super non-Abelian T-Duality considered in [1], focusing on symmetric and semi-symmetric coset spaces on $G/H$. We discuss a potential impediment, appearing in these models when integrating out the gauge…
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…
A new T-duality transformation is found in two-dimensional non-linear sigma models. This is a straightforward generalisation of Abelian and non-Abelian T-dualities.
We develop a unified Courant--Hilbert framework for constructing two-dimensional integrable sigma models deformed by two couplings: a marginal one $\gamma$ and an irrelevant one $\lambda$. The integrability condition is encoded in a…
We investigate whether the symmetry transformations of a bosonic string are connected by T-duality. We start with a standard closed string theory. We continue with a modified open string theory, modified to preserve the symmetry…
We present global fits to the Two-Higgs-Doublet model, assuming a softly broken $Z_2$ symmetry of the types I and II and CP conservation in the scalar potential. We show how much the parameter space is constrained by the combination of the…
We calculate the complete matrix of two-body scattering amplitudes for the scattering of longitudinally polarized gauge bosons $W_L^\pm$, $Z_L$ and Higgs bosons to two loops in the high-energy, heavy-Higgs limit $\sqrt{s}\gg M_H\gg M_W$.…
We discuss a T-duality transformation for the c=1/2 matrix model for the purpose of studying duality transformations in a possible toy example of nonperturbative frameworks of string theory. Our approach is to first investigate the scaling…
We discuss the structure of the non-anticommutative N=2 non-linear sigma-model in two dimensions, constructing differential operators which implement the deformed supersymmetry generators and using them to reproduce the classical action. We…
This is the first of two papers devoted to the proof of conformal invariance of the critical double random current model on the square lattice. More precisely, we show the convergence of loop ensembles obtained by taking the cluster…
Cosmological perturbation equations derived from low-energy effective actions are shown to be invariant under a duality transformation reminiscent of electric-magnetic, strong-weak coupling, S-duality. A manifestly duality-invariant…
In this paper, we analysis the dynamics, at the quantum level, of the self-dual field minimally coupled to bosons with Lorentz symmetry breaking. We quantize the model by applying the Dirac bracket canonical quantization procedure. In…
The possible functional forms of the effective conductivity sigma_{eff} of the randomly inhomogeneous two-phase system at arbitrary values of concentrations are discussed. A new functional equation, generalizing the duality relation, is…
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…
The 2-dimensional version of the Schwarz and Sen duality model (Tseytlin model) is analyzed at the classical and quantum levels. The solutions are obtained after removing the gauge dependent sector using the Dirac method. The Poincar\`e…
