5 5 / 17 First order string action Action for a bosonic string S str = 1 4πα d 2 σ det(h) ( G ij (X )h µν + ɛ µν B ij (X ) ) µx i νx j Σ where h is a metric on Σ, G is a metric on M, B is a 2-form on M. Seiberg-Witten limit [Baulieu et al., 2002] Sstr fo = A i dx i + πα E ij (X )A i A j + 1 Σ 2 Πij (X )A i A j using Equations of Motion for A i dx i + Π ij (X )A j + E ij (X ) A j = 0 classical equivalence if (G + B) 1 = E + 1 2πα Π Seiberg-Witten limit α 0 while (G, B) fixed, we get the action of PSM.

6 6 / 17 Gauge theory for SU(2) Yang-Mills action su(2)-valued 1-form A = A i T i curvature 2-form F = (da i cjk i S YM = 1 4g A j A k )T i, where c jk i = ɛ ijk Tr(F F ) Σ Action for a linear PSM with a Casimir function R 3 with Poisson bivector Π ij = 3 k=1 ɛijk x k Casimir function R 2 = 3 k=1 x k x k on M, volume form ω on Σ SYM fo = X i (da i + 1 Σ 2 cjk i A j A k ) g 3 2 ω X k X k Equations of Motion X i = 1 g F i give classical equivalence with S YM. For g 0 describes action of a PSM. k=1

7 7 / 17 Local symmetry [Ikeda, 1994], [Schaller & Strobl, 1994] Local symmetry of the action of PSM ɛ j = ɛ j (σ) δ ɛx i = ɛ j Π ji (X ) δ ɛa i = dɛ i + Πjk (X )A x i j ɛ k generalization of Y-M SU(2) symmetry - linear Π S X +δx,a+δa S X,A = Σ d(dx i ɛ i ) For Π fulfilling Jacobi identity and Σ = or ɛ Σ = 0 Algebra of these transformations is closed only on-shell [δ ɛ, δ ɛ ]X i = ɛ j ɛ k [δ ɛ, δ ɛ ]A i = d(ɛ j ɛ k Π jk Π li x l Π jk x i ) + Πjk A x i j (ɛ oɛ Π op p x ) ɛ jɛ 2 Π jk k k x i x (dx l + Π lm A m) l

8 8 / 17 Constrained system formalism With A i (τ, σ) = A iτ dτ + A iσ dσ, action gives τ2 ( ) S X,A = dτ dσ A iσ X,τ i A iτ (X,σ i + Π ij A jσ ) Hamiltonian formalism τ 1 σ coordinates X i (τ, σ), momenta P i (τ, σ) = A iσ (τ, σ) and canonical Hamiltonian ( ) H = dσ P i (σ)x,τ i (σ) L(σ) σ ( ) = dσa iτ (σ) X,σ i (σ) + Πij (X (σ))a jσ (σ) = dσλ i (σ)φ i (σ) σ σ Equations of Motion - constrained system, H 0 = 0 Ẋ i (σ) = δh 0 δp i (σ) + δ dσ λ j (σ )Φ j (σ ), δp i (σ) Ṗ i (σ) = δh 0 δx i (σ) δ δx i dσ λ j (σ )Φ j (σ ), (σ) Φ i (σ) = 0.

10 10 / 17 Poisson-Lie group Poisson map (M, {, }), (N, {, }) Poisson manifolds, F : N M is Poisson map if ( f, g C (M))({f, g} M F = {f F, g F } N ) Multiplicativity of Π compatibility of group and Poisson structure - µ : G G G is Poisson map with {f, g} M N (x, y) = {f (., y), g(., y)} M (x) + {f (x,.), g(x,.)} N (y) Poisson structure on G G Π(gg ) = (L g L g )Π(g ) + (R g R g )Π(g) Relation to bialgebra structures for (G, Π) connected and simply connected P-L group with algebra g exists unique bialgebra structure (g, δ) such that δ = DΠ and vice versa.

11 11 / 17 Construction of Π on the group G Manin triple (d, g, g) d = g g, g, g are subalgebras of d, isotropic w.r.t. non-degenerate symmetric ad-invariant scalar product, d [T a, T b ] = fc ab T c [ T a, T b ] = f ab c T c [T a, T b ] = fb ca T c + f bct a c ( a(g) T b(g) T adjoint representation of G on d Ad g 1 = 0 d(g) T ) Poisson-Lie structure on G in the basis of right-invariant fields Π(g) = b(g).a 1 (g) Sklyanin bracket gives the same result G connected Lie group with g, δ given by an r-matrix r g g, then Π(g) = (L g L g )(r) (R g R g )(r)

12 12 / 17 Example - R 2 gravity su(2)-yang-mills is formulated on the double (1 9), what about others? 4 and 6 dimensional Drinfeld doubles classified [Šnobl & Hlavatý, 2002] R 2 gravity [Schaller & Strobl, 1994] L R 2 = 1 d 2 x det g ( 1 4 M 4 R2 + 1) in Einstein-Cartan variables (e 1, e 2 ) zweibein, ω connection 1-form L R 2 = X (de 1 ω e 2 ) + Y (de 2 + ω e 1 ) + Zdω + ( 1 M 4 Z 2 )e 1 e 2 for X i = (X, Y, Z), A i = (e 1, e 2, ω) we have PSM with {X, Y } = Z {Y, Z} = X {Z, X } = Y induces Lie algebra structure of Bianchi9 (so(3)) so it can be built on (1 9) as {X, Y } = 1 z {Y, Z} = X {Z, X } = Y 2 or Bianchi8 (sl(2, R)), however using (1 7 0 ), (2i 7 0 ), (2ii 7 0 ) etc. needs simpler coordinate transformation

13 13 / 17 Poisson-Lie T-Duality σ-model Φ : Σ G, Φ C Σ R 2 with Minkowski metric d-dimensional Lie-group G with F = G + B action S F(Φ) = dσ +dσ Φ µ F µν(φ) +Φ ν Σ Dualizable σ-models generalized symmetry condition [Klimčík & Ševera, 1995] (L V af) µν = F µκv κb f a bc v λc F λν self-consistency leads to the Drinfeld double - D (G G) is a Lie group whose Lie algebra d admits a decomposition d = g g into a pair of subalgebras, maximally isotropic with respect to a symmetric, ad-invariant, nondegenerate bilinear form.,. d

14 14 / 17 Construction of dualizable σ-models σ-model on G given orthogonal subspaces E ± d - graph of E 0, dual decomposition l = g h = gh in ±ll 1, E = 0 E(g) = (a(g) + E 0 b(g)) 1 E 0 d(g) in right-invariant fields setting E(g) = ( E Π(g) ) 1 with Π(g) = b(g)a(g) 1 F(g) = e E(g) e T ( ±gg 1 ) a = ±φ µ e µa(g) F(g) solves the generalized symmetry condition and we have σ-model with Equations of Motion +( h h 1 ) c ( + h h 1 ) c + f c ab( h h 1 ) a ( + h h 1 ) b = 0. ( h h 1 ) a + E ab (g)(g 1 g) b = 0 ( + h h 1 ) a (g 1 +g) b E ba (g) = 0

15 Dual σ-model Dual σ-model on G model on G E + = Span(T i + E ij 0 T j ) g 1 E + g = Span(T i + E ij (g) T j ) model on G for invertible E 0 E + = Span( T j + (E 1 0 ) ji T i ) g 1 E + g = Span( T j + Ẽ( g) ji T i ) model on G for non-invertible E 0 E + = Span(T i + E ij 0 T j ) g 1 E + g = Span(T i + Ẽ( g)ij Tj ) Ẽ( g) = d( g) 1 (E 0 a( g) + b( g)) Equations of Motion and Lagrangian L = λ +i Ẽ ij ( g)λ j + λ +i ( g 1 g) i ( g 1 + g) i λ i for λ ±i = ( ±hh 1 ) i null vectors of Ẽ act as Lagrange multipliers +λ c λ +c f ab c λ +aλ b = 0 ( g 1 g) a + Ẽ ab ( g)λ b = 0 ( g 1 + g) a λ +b Ẽ ba ( g) = 0 15 / 17
