We study semiclassical strings in the Klebanov-Witten and in the Non-abelian T-dual Klebanov-Witten backgrounds. We show that both backgrounds share a subsector of equivalent states up to conditions on the T-dual coordinates which also…
We study generalized complex structures and $T$-duality (in the sense of Bouwknegt, Evslin, Hannabuss and Mathai) on Lie algebras and construct the corresponding Cavalcanti and Gualtieri map. Such a construction is called "Infinitesimal…
We initiate the study of the interplay between T-duality and classical stress tensor deformations in two-dimensional sigma models. We first show that a general Abelian T-duality commutes with the $T \overline{T}$ deformation, which can be…
We apply canonical Poisson-Lie T-duality transformations to bosonic open string worldsheet boundary conditions, showing that the form of these conditions is invariant at the classical level, and therefore they are compatible with…
In this work we study mesonic excitations in a Quantum Field Theory dual to the non Abelian T-dual of $AdS_5\times S^5$, using a D6 brane probe on the Sfetsos-Thompson background. Before and after the duality, we observe interesting…
We derive the most general local boundary conditions necessary for T-duality to be compatible with superconformal invariance of the two-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model with boundaries. To this end, we construct a…
We obtain sets of infinite number of conserved nonlocal charges of strings in a flat space and pp-wave backgrounds, and compare them before and after T-duality transformation. In the flat background the set of nonlocal charges is the same…
It is a well known fact that the classical (``Buscher'') transformations of T-duality do receive, in general, quantum corrections. It is interesting to check whether classical T-duality can be exact as a quantum symmetry. The natural…
We examine how nonperturbative effects in string theory are transformed under the T-duality in its nonperturbative framework by analyzing the c=1/2 noncritical string theory as a simplest example. We show that in the T-dual theory they also…
A non-supersymmetric ten-dimensional open string theory is constructed as an orbifold of type I string theory, and as an orientifold of the bosonic type B theory. It is purely bosonic, and cancellation of massless tadpoles requires the…
We propose a general method to study open/closed string dualities from transitions in M theory which is valid for a large class of geometrical configurations. By T-duality we can transform geometrically engineered configurations into N = 1…
We study the world-sheet conformal field theories for T-folds systematically based on the Lie algebra lattices representing the momenta of strings. The fixed point condition required for the T-duality twist restricts the possible Lie…
When the gauge groups of the two heterotic string theories are broken, over tori, to their "SO(16)x SO(16)" subgroups, the winding modes correspond to representations which are spinorial with respect to those subgroups. Globally, the two…
In this paper we study T-duality for open strings ending on branes with non-zero B-field on them from the point of view of canonical transformations. For the particular case of type II strings on the two torus we show that the $Sl(2,Z)_N$…
The closed string model in the background gravity field and the antisymmetric B-field is considered as the bihamiltonian system in assumption,that string model is the integrable model for particular kind of the background fields. It is…
We describe topological T-duality and Poisson-Lie T-duality in terms of QP (differential graded symplectic) manifolds and their canonical transformations. Duality is mediated by a QP-manifold on doubled non-abelian "correspondence" space,…
A simple geometric description of T-duality is given by identifying the cotangent bundles of the original and the dual manifold. Strings propagate naturally in the cotangent bundle and the original and the dual string phase spaces are…
A brief review of the status of duality symmetries in string theory is presented. The evidence is accumulating rapidly that an enormous group of duality symmetries, including perturbative T dualities and non-perturbative S-dualities,…
Using the pure spinor formalism on the world-sheet, we derive the T-duality rules for all target space couplings in an efficient manner. The world-sheet path integral derivation is a proof of the equivalence of the T-dual Ramond-Ramond…
A dual action is obtained for a general non-abelian and non-supersymmetric gauge theory at the classical level. The construction follows steps similar to those used in pure abelian gauge theory. As an example we study the spontaneously…
