We present general formulae for the TsT transformation (T-duality, shift, T-duality) of type II string backgrounds and open string boundary conditions. The TsT transformation provides a systematic procedure to find string theory duals of gauge theories with deformed products of fields in the lagrangian, and the duals can be analyzed by using transformed D-brane probes. As examples illustrating some features of the deformed theories, we consider the known backgrounds dual to non-commutative, dipole and beta-deformed N=4 Super Yang-Mills as well as new backgrounds dual to deformations of the recently proposed N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory living on multiple M2-branes on an orbifold.

  1. Poly-vector deformations of heterotic supergravity solutions

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Bi- and uni-vector deformations of heterotic supergravity solutions are constructed using gauged double field theory together with a generalized open/closed map.

  2. Penrose limits and TsT for fibered $I$-branes

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Analyzes TsT deformations and Penrose limits on fibered I-branes from prior work, finding preserved solvability when TsT precedes the limit and new asymptotically free or parallelizable sectors in the reverse order.
