Abelian Yang-Baxter deformations and TsT transformations.

 

Abstract: We prove that abelian Yang-Baxter deformations of superstring coset σ models are equivalent to sequences of commuting TsT transformations, meaning T dualities and coordinate shifts. Our results extend also to fermionic deformations and fermionic T duality, and naturally lead to a TsT subgroup of the superduality group OSp( db, d b |2d f ). In cases like AdS5 × S5, fermionic deformations necessarily lead to complex models. As an illustration of inequivalent deformations, we give all six abelian deformations of AdS3 . We comment on the possible dual field theory interpretation of these (super-)TsT models.
