abstract
From the underlying non-linear realisation we compute the complete E11 invariant equations of motion in eleven dimensions, at the linearised level, up to and including level four in the fields. Thus we include the metric, the three and six forms, the dual graviton and three fields at level four. The fields are linked by a set of duality equations, which are first order in derivatives and transform into each other under the E11 symmetries. From these duality relations we deduce second order equations of motion, including those for the usual supergravity fields. As a result the on-shell degrees of freedom are those of the eleven dimensional supergravity. We also show that the level four fields provide an eleven dimensional origin of Romans theory and lead to a novel duality relation.

Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes
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.
