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 …

Generalized Geometry and M theory
We reformulate the Hamiltonian form of bosonic eleven dimensional supergravity in terms of
an object that unifies the three-form and the metric. For the case of four spatial dimensions …

Non-geometric backgrounds in string theory
E Plauschinn - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
This review provides an introduction to non-geometric backgrounds in string theory. Starting
from a discussion of T-duality, geometric and non-geometric torus-fibrations are reviewed …

Stringy differential geometry, beyond Riemann
While the fundamental object in Riemannian geometry is a metric, closed string theories call
for us to put a two-form gauge field and a scalar dilaton on an equal footing with the metric …

Differential geometry with a projection: Application to double field theory
In recent development of double field theory, as for the description of the massless sector of
closed strings, the spacetime dimension is formally doubled, ie from D to D+D, and the T …
