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 …

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 …

Exceptional field theory. II.

O Hohm, H Samtleben - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We introduce the exceptional field theory for the group E 7 (7), based on a (4+ 56)-
dimensional spacetime subject to a covariant section condition. The “internal” generalized …

Exceptional field theory. I. -covariant form of M-theory and type IIB

O Hohm, H Samtleben - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
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 …

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 …

Consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations via exceptional field theory

O Hohm, H Samtleben - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We present the generalized Scherk-Schwarz reduction ansatz for the full
supersymmetric exceptional field theory in terms of group valued twist matrices subject to …

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 …

Consistent type IIB reductions to maximal 5D supergravity

A Baguet, O Hohm, H Samtleben - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We use exceptional field theory as a tool to work out the full nonlinear reduction ansatz for
the AdS 5× S 5 compactification of IIB supergravity and its noncompact counterparts in which …

Supersymmetric E7 (7) exceptional field theory

H Godazgar, M Godazgar, O Hohm, H Nicolai… - Journal of High Energy …, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We give the supersymmetric extension of exceptional field theory for E 7 (7), which
is based on a (4+ 56)-dimensional generalized spacetime subject to a covariant constraint …
