Type II strings are Exceptional

Alex S. Arvanitakis, Chris D. A. Blair

We construct the exceptional sigma model: a two-dimensional sigma model coupled to a supergravity background in a manifestly (formally) $E_{D (D)}$ -covariant manner. This formulatio…

Five-brane actions in double field theory

Chris D. A. Blair, Edvard T. Musaev

We construct an action for NSNS 5-branes which is manifestly covariant under O(d,d). This is done by doubling $d$ of the spacetime coordinates which appear in the worldvolume actio…

Particle actions and brane tensions from double and exceptional geometry

Chris D. A. Blair

Massless particles in $n + 1$ dimensions lead to massive particles in $n$ dimensions on Kaluza-Klein reduction. In string theory, wrapped branes lead to multiplets of massive particl…
