Hi all
Now I forgot to mention it before but if anyone is interested: later today at 4pm I will
give a talk about work I did together with Riccardo. See info below.
Feel free to join of course!

Speaker: Sybille Driezen (Santiago de Compostela University)
Title: Supergravity solution-generating techniques and canonical transformations of
σ-models from O(D,D)
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss solution-generating techniques of supergravity and
canonical transformations of σ-models using the framework of the flux formulation of
Double Field Theory (DFT). Given that the DFT equations of motion as well as the Poisson
brackets of two-dimensional sigma models can be written in terms of the so-called
generalised fluxes, I will discuss within certain assumptions a classification of
transformations which leave these fluxes invariant but transform the background
non-trivially. We will assume a generalised Scherk-Schwarz ansatz for the generalised
vielbein, such that it takes a twisted form, and that the twist gives rise to constant
generalised fluxes on the strong constraint. Furthermore the twist is required to take a
particular form when the H-flux is non-vanishing. The classification of maps thus obtained
include the known abelian/non-abelian/Poisson-Lie T-duality transformations, Yang-Baxter
deformations, as well as novel generalisations of them. This talk is based on
https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.04498.
The seminar will take place on Zoom
