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 …

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 …

Exploring double field theory

D Geissbühler, D Marqués, C Nunez… - Journal of High Energy …, 2013 - Springer
A bstract We consider a flux formulation of Double Field Theory in which fluxes are
dynamical and field-dependent. Gauge consistency imposes a set of quadratic constraints …

Spheres, generalised parallelisability and consistent truncations

K Lee, C Strickland‐Constable… - Fortschritte der …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We show that generalised geometry gives a unified description of maximally supersymmetric
consistent truncations of ten‐and eleven‐dimensional supergravity. In all cases the …

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 …
