Gauss law constraint in A-theory branes
Machiko Hatsuda, Ondrej Hulık, William D. Linch +2
A-theory realizes U-duality symmetry by extending the string worldsheet to a higher dimensional brane worldvolume, in which the worldvolume and the spacetime belong to different re…

Strings and membranes from -theory five brane
Machiko Hatsuda, Ondřej Hulík, William D. Linch +3
The -theory takes U-duality symmetry as a guiding principle, with the SL(5) U-duality symmetry being described as the world-volume theory of a 5-brane. Furthermore, by…

-theory: A brane world-volume theory with manifest U-duality
Machiko Hatsuda, Ondřej Hulík, William D. Linch +3
In this paper, the -theory, an extension of F-theory, is described as a fully U-duality covariant brane theory. This theory has some distinguishing features not known fro…
