Linear quivers and non-Abelian T-duals

We will discuss recent progress in the CFT interpretation of non-Abelian T-duality in AdS string theory backgrounds. We will focus on $AdS_5$ and $AdS_4$ examples for which the dual CFT can be identified as specific linear quivers. This reveals an interesting set-up in which non-Abelian T-duals of $AdS_{p+1}$ backgrounds are related to Dp-D(p+2)-NS5 brane intersections.
