We construct Exceptional Field Theory for the group SO(5, 5) based on the extended (6+16)-dimensional spacetime, which after reduction gives the maximal D = 6 supergravity. We present both a true action and a duality-invariant pseudo-action formulations. All the fields of the theory depend on the complete extended spacetime. The U-duality group SO(5, 5) is made a geometric symmetry of the theory by virtue of introducing the generalised Lie derivative that incorporates a duality transformation. Tensor hierarchy appears as a natural consequence of the algebra of generalised Lie derivatives that are viewed as gauge transformations. Upon truncating different subsets of the extra coordinates, maximal supergravities in D = 11 and D = 10 (type IIB) can be recovered from this theory.
Abstract:The double field theory monopole solution by Berman and Rudolph is shown to reproduce non-geometric backgrounds with non-vanishing Q-and R-flux upon an appropriate choice of physical and dual coordinates. The obtained backgrounds depend nontrivially on dual coordinates and have only trivial monodromies. Upon smearing the solutions along the dual coordinates one reproduces the known 5 2 2 solution for the Q-brane and co-dimension 1 solution for the R-brane. The T-duality invariant magnetic charge is explicitly calculated for all these backgrounds and is found to be equal to the magnetic charge of (unsmeared) NS5-brane.
The Yang-Baxter σ-model is a systematic way to generate integrable deformations of AdS5×S 5 . We recast the deformations as seen by open strings, where the metric is undeformed AdS5×S 5 with constant string coupling, and all information about the deformation is encoded in the noncommutative (NC) parameter Θ. We identify the deformations of AdS5 as twists of the conformal algebra, thus explaining the noncommutativity. We show that the unimodularity condition on r-matrices for supergravity solutions translates into Θ being divergence-free. Integrability of the σ-model for unimodular r-matrices implies the existence and planar integrability of the dual NC gauge theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
