Poisson-Lie T-plurality revisited. Is T-duality unique?

摘要

A bstract We investigate (non-)Abelian T-duality from the perspective of Poisson-Lie T-plurality. We show that sigma models related by duality/plurality are given not only by Manin triples obtained from decompositions of Drinfel’d double, but also by their particular embeddings, i.e. maps that relate bases of these decompositions. This allows us to get richer set of dual or plural sigma models than previously thought. That’s why we ask how T-duality is defined and what should be the “canonical” duality or plurality transformation.
