T-dualization of Gödel string cosmologies via Poisson–Lie T-duality approach

Abstract

Using the homogeneous Gödel spacetimes we find some new solutions for the field equations of bosonic string effective action up to first order in α′ including both dilaton and axion fields. We then discuss in detail the (non-)Abelian T-dualization of Gödel string cosmologies via the Poisson–Lie (PL) T-duality approach. In studying Abelian T-duality of the models we get seven dual models in such a way that they are constructed by one-, two- and three-dimensional Abelian Lie groups acting freely on the target space manifold. The results of our study show that the Abelian T-dual models are, under some of the special conditions, self-dual; moreover, by applying the usual rules of Abelian T-duality without further corrections, we are still able to obtain two-loop solutions. We also study the Abelian T-duality of Gödel string cosmologies up to α′-corrections by using the T-duality rules at two-loop order derived by Kaloper and Meissner. Afterwards, non-Abelian duals of the Gödel spacetimes are constructed by two- and three-dimensional non-Abelian Lie groups such as A2, A2⊕ A1 and SL(2 , R). In this way, the PL self-duality of AdS3× R space is discussed.
