Integrable $\lambda$-deformations of the Euclidean black string

Abstract

Non-trivial outer algebra automorphisms may be utilized in $\lambda$-deformations of (gauged) WZW models thus providing an efficient way to construct new integrable models. We provide two such integrable deformations of the exact coset CFT $SU(2{)}_k\times U(1)/U(1{)}_q$ with a vector and axial residual gauge. Besides the integer level $k$ and the deformation parameter $\lambda$, these models are characterized by the embedding parameter $q$ of the $U(1)$ factor. We show that an axial-vector T-duality persists along the deformations and, therefore, the models are canonically equivalent. We demonstrate integrability even though the space is non-symmetric and compute the $RG$-flow equations for the parameters $\lambda$ and $q$. Our example provides an integrable deformation of the gravitational solution representing a Euclidean three-dimensional black string.
