The geometry, branes and applications of exceptional field theory

DS Berman, C Blair - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2020 - World Scientific

unifies the metric and p-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a …

The Odd story of α′-corrections

WH Baron, JJ Fernández-Melgarejo, D Marqués… - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer
A bstract The α′-deformed frame-like Double Field Theory (DFT) is a T-duality and gauge

Remarks on the non-Riemannian sector in Double Field Theory

K Cho, JH Park - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
Abstract Taking O (D, D) O (D, D) covariant field variables as its truly fundamental
constituents, Double Field Theory can accommodate not only conventional supergravity but …

The topology of double field theory

F Hassler - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We describe the doubled space of Double Field Theory as a group manifold G with
an arbitrary generalized metric. Local information from the latter is not relevant to our …

Weaving the exotic web

JJ Fernández-Melgarejo, T Kimura… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract String and M-theory contain a family of branes forming U-duality multiplets. In
particular, standard branes with codimension higher than or equal to two, can be explicitly …

Doubled aspects of Vaisman algebroid and gauge symmetry in double field theory

H Mori, S Sasaki, K Shiozawa - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
The metric algebroid proposed by Vaisman (the Vaisman algebroid) governs the gauge
symmetry algebra generated by the C-bracket in double field theory (DFT). We show that the …

Tri-vector deformations in d= 11 supergravity

I Bakhmatov, NS Deger, ET Musaev… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We construct ad= 11 supergravity analogue of the open-closed string map in the
context of SL (5) Exceptional Field Theory (ExFT). The deformation parameter tri-vector Ω …

Exotic branes in exceptional field theory: E7 (7) and beyond

DS Berman, ET Musaev, R Otsuki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract In recent years, it has been widely argued that the duality transformations of string
and M-theory naturally imply the existence of so-called 'exotic branes'—low codimension …

On the Non-Abelian U-Duality of 11D Backgrounds

ET Musaev - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
In this work, we generalise the procedure of the non-abelian T-duality based on a B-shift and
a sequence of formal abelian T-dualities in non-isometric directions to 11-dimensional …

Global Double Field Theory is Higher Kaluza‐Klein Theory

L Alfonsi - Fortschritte der Physik, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Kaluza‐Klein Theory states that a metric on the total space of a principal bundle, if it
is invariant under the principal action of P, naturally reduces to a metric together with a …
