Double field theory at order α′

O Hohm, B Zwiebach - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We investigate α′ corrections of bosonic strings in the framework of double field
theory. The previously introduced “doubled α′-geometry” gives α′-deformed gauge …

Double field theory on group manifolds

R Blumenhagen, F Hassler, D Lüst - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract A new version of double field theory (DFT) is derived for the exactly solvable
background of an in general left-right asymmetric WZW model in the large level limit. This …

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
invariant extension of DFT in which generalized Green-Schwarz transformations provide a …

Looking for structure in the cobordism conjecture

D Andriot, N Carqueville, N Cribiori - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
The cobordism conjecture of the swampland program states that the bordism group of
quantum gravity must be trivial. We investigate this statement in several directions, on both …

N S-branes, source corrected Bianchi identities, and more on backgrounds with non-geometric fluxes

D Andriot, A Betz - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract In the first half of the paper, we study in details NS-branes, including the NS 5-
brane, the Kaluza-Klein monopole and the exotic\({5}^{\frac {2}{2}}\)-or Q-brane, together …

Noncommutativity of closed string zero modes

L Freidel, RG Leigh, D Minic - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We explore several consequences of the recently discovered intrinsic noncommutativity of
the zero-mode sector of closed string theory. In particular, we illuminate the relation between …

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 …

New gaugings and non‐geometry

K Lee, C Strickland‐Constable… - Fortschritte der …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We discuss the possible realisation in string/M theory of the recently discovered family of
four‐dimensional maximal gauged supergravities, and of an analogous family of seven …

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 …
