Description
I will outline some recent progress in understanding classes of integrable deformations of strings relevant to e.g. the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring. These so-called eta and lambda-deformations exhibit a rich structure of Poisson-Lie symmetries and corresponding notions of Poisson-Lie and non-Abelian T-duality. I will explain how these symmetries become natural when harnessing the power of generalised geometry. I will outline recent results concerning the open string sector of lambda-deformations and the interplay of integrable D-branes with PL and non-Abelian dualisation.
