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 …

Duality symmetric string and M-theory
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 …

β-supergravity: a ten-dimensional theory with non-geometric fluxes, and its geometric framework
D Andriot, A Betz - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013 - Springer
A bstract We present a ten-dimensional theory, named β-supergravity, that contains non-
geometric fluxes and could uplift some four-dimensional gauged supergravities. Building on …
