Non-linear parent action and dual gravity
read the original abstract
We give a reformulation of non-linear Einstein gravity, which contains the dual graviton together with the ordinary metric and a shift gauge field. The metric does not enter through a `kinetic' Einstein-Hilbert term, but via topological couplings, and so the theory does not lead to a doubling of degrees of freedom. The field equations take the form of first-order duality relations. We analyze the gauge symmetries and comment on their meaning with regard to the E11 proposal.

The auxiliary-deformed Breitenlohner-Maison model: duality frames and higher-dimensional origin
Extends auxiliary deformations of the 2D BM model to the μ-frame and uplifts both frames to a 4D higher-derivative theory without manifest diffeomorphism invariance.

Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes
