Integrable higher-spin deformations of sigma models from auxiliary fields

D Bielli, C Ferko, L Smith… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We construct a new infinite family of integrable deformations of the principal chiral model
(PCM) parameterized by an interaction function of several variables, which extends the …

Non-associativity in non-geometric string and M-theory backgrounds, the algebra of octonions, and missing momentum modes

M Günaydin, D Lüst, E Malek - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We propose a non-associative phase space algebra for M-theory backgrounds with
locally non-geometric fluxes based on the non-associative algebra of octonions. Our …

Non-abelian T-folds

M Bugden - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We discuss the conditions under which non-abelian T-duality can be considered as
a chain of abelian T-dualities. Motivated by these results, we propose that the topology of a …

A Tour of T-duality: Geometric and Topological Aspects of T-dualities

M Bugden - arxiv preprint arxiv:1904.03583, 2019 - arxiv.org
The primary focus of this thesis is to investigate the mathematical and physical properties of
spaces that are related by T-duality and its generalisations. In string theory, T-duality is a …

Beyond the standard gauging: gauge symmetries of Dirac sigma models

A Chatzistavrakidis, A Deser, L Jonke… - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we study the general conditions that have to be met for a gauged
extension of a two-dimensional bosonic σ-model to exist. In an inversion of the usual …

Momentum sections in Hamiltonian mechanics and sigma models

N Ikeda - SIGMA. Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods …, 2019 - emis.de
We show a constrained Hamiltonian system and a gauged sigma model have a structure of
a momentum section and a Hamiltonian Lie algebroid theory recently introduced by …

Higher dimensional Lie algebroid sigma model with WZ term

N Ikeda - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
We generalize the (n+ 1)-dimensional twisted R-Poisson topological sigma model with flux
on a target Poisson manifold to a Lie algebroid. Analyzing the consistency of constraints in …

Homotopy momentum sections on multisymplectic manifolds

Y Hirota, N Ikeda - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
We introduce a notion of a homotopy momentum section on a Lie algebroid over a pre-
multisymplectic manifold. A homotopy momentum section is a generalization of the …

Hidden isometry of “T-duality without isometry”

P Bouwknegt, M Bugden, C Klimčík… - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We study the T-dualisability criteria of Chatzistavrakidis, Deser and Jonke [3] who
recently used Lie algebroid gauge theories to obtain sigma models exhibiting a “Tduality …

Towards a world‐sheet description of doubled geometry in string theory

I Bakas, D Lüst, E Plauschinn - Fortschritte der Physik, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Starting from a sigma‐model for a doubled target‐space geometry, we show that the number
of target‐space dimensions can be reduced by half through a gauging procedure. We apply …
