On non-abelian T-duality and deformations of supercoset string sigma-models [PDF]
A bstractWe elaborate on the class of deformed T-dual (DTD) models obtained by first adding a topological term to the action of a supercoset sigma model and then performing (non-abelian) T-duality on a subalgebra g˜$$ \tilde{\mathfrak{g}} $$ of the ...

Just as string T-duality originates from transforming field equations into Bianchi identities on the string worldsheet, so it has been suggested that M-theory U-dualities originate from transforming field equations into Bianchi identities on the membrane

Surveying the Three-Dimensional Fixed Points of T-Duality [PDF]
We explore the family of fixed points of T-Duality transformations in three dimensions. For the simplest nontrivial self-duality conditions it is possible to show that, additionally to the spacelike isometry in which the T-Duality transformation is ...

Chaotic duality in string theory [PDF]
We investigate the general features of renormalization group flows near superconformal fixed points of four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with gravity duals. The gauge theories we study arise as the world-volume theory on a set of D-branes at a Calabi-Yau singularity where a del Pezzo surface shrinks to zero size.

Strings, T-duality breaking, and nonlocality without the shortest distance [PDF]
T-duality of string theory suggests nonlocality manifested as the shortest possible distance. As an alternative, we suggest a nonlocal formulation of string theory that breaks T-duality at the fundamental level and does not require the shortest possible ...

Gauge/string duality applied to heavy-ion collisions: limitations, insights and prospects [PDF]
Over the last decade a fruitful interplay has developed between analyses of strongly coupled non-Abelian plasmas via the gauge/string duality and the phenomenology of the quark–gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions.

M-Theory (the Theory Formerly Known as Strings) [PDF]
Superunification underwent a major paradigm shift in 1984 when eleven-dimensional supergravity was knocked off its pedestal by ten-dimensional superstrings.

Exotic hybrid pseudopotentials and gauge/string duality [PDF]
We use gauge/string duality to model some hybrid pseudo-potentials in a pure SU(N) gauge theory. The pseudo-potentials under consideration can't be described by a single Nambu-Goto string. This is why we call them "exotic".
