Description

I will summarize recent work aimed to show that sigma models on (semi-)symmetric spaces F/G admit discrete integrable deformations that can be viewed as deformations of the F/F gauged WZW model. For the AdS(5)xS(5) world-sheet theory, F=PSU(2,2|4) and the resulting theory has just the right amount of kappa-symmetries, which points to the existence of a new fully consistent deformed string background.
