Supergravity background of lambda-deformed model for AdS2 x S2 supercoset

Understand

Starting with the F/G supercoset model corresponding to the AdS_n x S^n superstring one can define the lambda-model of arXiv:1409.1538 either as a deformation of the F/F gauged WZW model or as an integrable one-parameter generalization of the non-abelian T-dual of the AdS_n x S^n superstring sigma model with respect to the whole supergroup F.

• Here we consider the case of n=2 and find the explicit form of the 4d target space background for the lambda-model for the PSU(1,1|2)/[SO(1,1) x SO(2)] supercoset.
• We show that this background represents a solution of type IIB 10d supergravity compactified on a 6-torus with only metric, dilaton Phi and the RR 5-form (represented by a 2-form F in 4d) being non-trivial.
• This implies that the lambda-model is Weyl invariant at the quantum level and thus defines a consistent superstring sigma model.
