Double field theory: a pedagogical review

G Aldazabal, D Marques, C Nunez - Classical and Quantum …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Double field theory (DFT) is a proposal to incorporate T-duality, a distinctive symmetry of
string theory, as a symmetry of a field theory defined on a double configuration space. The …

Duality symmetric string and M-theory

DS Berman, DC Thompson - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
We review recent developments in duality symmetric string theory. We begin with the world-
sheet doubled formalism which describes strings in an extended spacetime with extra …

The gauge structure of generalised diffeomorphisms

DS Berman, M Cederwall, A Kleinschmidt… - Journal of High Energy …, 2013 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the generalised diffeomorphisms in M-theory, which are gauge
transformations unifying diffeomorphisms and tensor gauge transformations. After giving an …

Supergravity as Generalised Geometry II: E d (d)× ℝ+ and M theory

A Coimbra, C Strickland-Constable… - Journal of High Energy …, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We reformulate eleven-dimensional supergravity, including fermions, in terms of
generalised geometry, for spacetimes that are warped products of Minkowski space with a d …

Gauged double field theory

M Grana, D Marques - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We find necessary and sufficient conditions for gauge invariance of the action of
Double Field Theory (DFT) as well as closure of the algebra of gauge symmetries. The so …

The geometry, branes and applications of exceptional field theory

DS Berman, C Blair - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2020 - World Scientific
This is a review of exceptional field theory: a generalisation of Kaluza–Klein theory that
unifies the metric and p-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a …

Duality invariant actions and generalised geometry

DS Berman, H Godazgar, MJ Perry, P West - Journal of High Energy …, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We construct the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E 11 and its
first fundamental representation at lowest order and appropriate to spacetime dimensions …

The local symmetries of M-theory and their formulation in generalised geometry

DS Berman, H Godazgar, M Godazgar… - Journal of High Energy …, 2012 - Springer
A bstract In the doubled field theory approach to string theory the T-duality group is
promoted to a manifest symmetry at the expense of replacing ordinary Riemannian …

On the Riemann tensor in double field theory

O Hohm, B Zwiebach - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract Double field theory provides T-duality covariant generalized tensors that are
natural extensions of the scalar and Ricci curvatures of Riemannian geometry. We search …

Duality orbits of non‐geometric fluxes

G Dibitetto, JJ Fernández‐Melgarejo… - Fortschritte der …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Compactifications in duality covariant constructions such as generalised geometry and
