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 …

U-duality and M-theory

NA Obers, B Pioline - Physics Reports, 1999 - Elsevier
This work is intended as a pedagogical introduction to M-theory and to its maximally
supersymmetric toroidal compactifications, in the frameworks of 11D supergravity, type II …

M (atrix) theory: Matrix quantum mechanics as a fundamental theory

W Taylor - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2001 - APS
This article reviews the matrix model of M theory. M theory is an 11-dimensional quantum
theory of gravity that is believed to underlie all superstring theories. M theory is currently the …

Exotic branes in string theory

J de Boer, M Shigemori - Physics Reports, 2013 - Elsevier
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 …

Gauged supergravities, tensor hierarchies, and M-theory

B De Wit, H Nicolai, H Samtleben - Journal of High Energy …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Deformations of maximal supergravity theories induced by gauging non-abelian subgroups
of the duality group reveal the presence of charged M-theory degrees of freedom that are not …

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 …

D0 Branes on T^ n and Matrix Theory

A Sen - arxiv preprint hep-th/9709220, 1997 - arxiv.org
The Hamiltonian describing Matrix theory on T^ n is identified with the Hamiltonian
describing the dynamics of D0-branes on T^ n in an appropriate weak coupling limit for all n …

Duality invariant actions and generalised geometry

DS Berman, H Godazgar, MJ Perry, P West - Journal of High Energy …, 2012 - Springer
A bstract We construct the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E 11 and its
first fundamental representation at lowest order and appropriate to spacetime dimensions …

Exotic branes and nongeometric backgrounds

J de Boer, M Shigemori - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
When string or M theory is compactified to lower dimensions, the U-duality symmetry
predicts so-called exotic branes whose higher-dimensional origin cannot be explained by …
