I will describe how kappa symmetry of the Green‐Schwarz superstring leads to the so‐called generalized supergravity equations for the background fields.
I will then focus on some interesting connections with non‐abelian T‐duality. Non‐abelian T‐duality is known to be anomalous for certain groups and I will show how the structure of the anomaly fits with the generalized supergravity equations. This analysis leads to an interesting way that the anomaly can cancel
in certain cases.
