abstract

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 generalised or extended geometry, whose additional coordinates may be viewed as conjugate to brane winding modes. This unifies the maximal supergravities, treating their previously-hidden exceptional Lie symmetries as a fundamental geometric symmetry. Duality orbits of solutions simplify into single objects, that in many cases have simple geometric interpretations, for instance as wave or monopole-type solutions. It also provides a route to explore exotic or non-geometric aspects of M-theory, such as exotic branes, U-folds, and more novel sorts of non-Riemannian spaces.

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    E6(6) ExFT yields gauge-invariant first-order KK fluctuation equations and a homotopy-transfer Higgs mechanism, applied partly to Kerr-Newman AdS5 near-horizon stability.

  2. Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. How to uplift non-maximal gauged supergravities

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An ExFT-based algorithm reduces the uplift problem to a PDE on the base of the internal manifold and classifies the type IIB uplifts of pure SO(4)-gauged N=4 supergravity by two harmonic functions on a Riemann surface.

  4. Gauged Extended Field Theory and Generalised Cartan Geometry

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10
