<b>Deformations of M-Theory Backgrounds With Field Theory Duals</b> <br>
<br>
<b>Abstract :</b> We construct new M-theory solutions starting from
those that contain
5 U(1) isometries. We do this by reducing along one of the 5-torus
directions, then T-dualizing via the action of an O(4,4) matrix and
lifting
back to 11-dimensions. The particular T-duality transformation is a
sequence
of O(2,2) transformations embedded in O(4,4), where the action of each
O(2,2) gives a Lunin-Maldacena deformation in 10-dimensions. The talk
will
start by a brief review of the Lunin-Maldacena deformation, followed by
its
generalization to M-theory backgrounds. Then we apply the results to
certain
M-theory backgrounds, with field theory duals. <br>
