The Mandelstam and National Institute for Theoretical Physics will host Dr Catherine Whiting to present this seminar.

Non Abelian T-Duality has recently been used to generate new, supersymmetric solutions to supergravity.

These new backgrounds can contain AdS factors and, therefore, can be studied in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Whiting will review Abelian and Non-Abelian T-dualities and discuss some recent developments.
