General omega deformations from closed string backgrounds. (English) Zbl 1348.81383

Summary: An important extension to the recent construction of the fluxtrap background is presented. The fluxtrap is a closed string background based on the Melvin solution corresponding to the Omega deformation of flat space. In this note, we introduce the mechanisms to extend it from \(\varepsilon_1=-\varepsilon_2 \in\mathbb R\) to more general values of \(\varepsilon_1\) and \(\varepsilon_2\) in \(\mathbb C\).
