abstract

Double field theory describes a massless subsector of closed string theory with both momentum and winding excitations. The gauge algebra is governed by the Courant bracket in certain subsectors of this double field theory. We construct the associated nonlinear background-independent action that is T-duality invariant and realizes the Courant gauge algebra. The action is the sum of a standard action for gravity, antisymmetric tensor, and dilaton fields written with ordinary derivatives, a similar action for dual fields with dual derivatives, and a mixed term that is needed for gauge invariance.

Local symmetry and the dependence on extended spacetime

hep-th · 2026-07-02 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Linearised E theory and its reduction to Siegel theory possess local symmetries under differential constraints on parameters that differ from section conditions, with the dilaton equation invariant under a non-linear parameter constraint, without needing field conditions.

Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes

hep-th · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proposes enlarged worldline models with coadjoint orbit terms and generalized worldvolume theories for exotic branes that make E8 duality covariance manifest in a Hamiltonian formulation.
