Double field theory: a pedagogical review
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
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
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 …

Exotic branes in string theory
Besides the familiar D-branes, string theory contains a vast number of other non-perturbative
objects. While a complete classification is lacking, many of these objects are related to each …
