abstract

We introduce exceptional field theory for the group E_{7(7)}, based on a (4+56)-dimensional spacetime subject to a covariant section condition. The `internal' generalized diffeomorphisms of the coordinates in the fundamental representation of E_{7(7)} are governed by a covariant `E-bracket', which is gauged by 56 vector fields. We construct the complete and unique set of field equations that is gauge invariant under generalized diffeomorphisms in the internal and external coordinates. Among them feature the non-abelian twisted self-duality equations for the 56 gauge vectors. We discuss the explicit solutions of the section condition describing the embedding of the full, untruncated 11-dimensional and type IIB supergravity, respectively. As a new feature compared to the previously constructed E_{6(6)} formulation, some components among the 56 gauge vectors descend from the 11-dimensional dual graviton but nevertheless allow for a consistent coupling by virtue of a covariantly constrained compensating 2-form gauge field.

Maximal trombone supergravity from wrapped M5-branes

hep-th · 2026-01-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Certain maximal 4D supergravities with trombone gaugings arise as consistent truncations of 11D supergravity from M5-branes wrapped on supersymmetric three-cycles.

Non-associative structures in extended geometry

hep-th · 2025-09-17 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Defines non-associative superalgebra on Kac-Moody modules to generalize vector fields and Lie derivatives, reproducing extended geometry.

Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes

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

A particle worldline in E8 exceptional field theory is made gauge-invariant by adding a coadjoint-orbit "duality charge", and the same Hamiltonian framework organizes exotic zero-brane dynamics such as the 0^(1,7) brane.
