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 …

The spacetime of double field theory: Review, remarks, and outlook

O Hohm, D Lüst, B Zwiebach - Fortschritte der Physik, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We review double field theory (DFT) with emphasis on the doubled spacetime and its
generalized coordinate transformations, which unify diffeomorphisms and b‐field gauge …

Exceptional field theory. I. -covariant form of M-theory and type IIB

O Hohm, H Samtleben - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We present the details of the recently constructed E 6 (6)-covariant extension of 11-
dimensional supergravity. This theory requires a 5+ 27-dimensional spacetime in which the …

Supergravity as generalised geometry I: type II theories

A Coimbra, C Strickland-Constable… - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
A bstract We reformulate ten-dimensional type II supergravity as a generalised geometrical
analogue of Einstein gravity, defined by an O (9, 1)× O (1, 9)⊂ O (10, 10)×\({\mathbb …

generalised geometry, connections and M theory

A Coimbra, C Strickland-Constable… - Journal of High Energy …, 2014 - Springer
We show that generalised geometry gives a unified description of bosonic eleven-
dimensional supergravity restricted to a d-dimensional manifold for all d≤ 7. The theory is …

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 …

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 effective action of double field theory

G Aldazabal, W Baron, D Marques, C Nunez - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
A bstract We perform a generalized Scherk-Schwarz dimensional reduction of Double Field
Theory on a twisted double torus. The four dimensional effective action is shown to exactly …

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 …
