abstract

We investigate $\alpha'$ corrections of bosonic strings in the framework of double field theory. The previously introduced "doubled $\alpha'$-geometry" gives $\alpha'$-deformed gauge transformations arising in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism but does not apply to bosonic strings. These require a different deformation of the duality-covariantized Courant bracket which governs the gauge structure. This is revealed by examining the $\alpha'$ corrections in the gauge algebra of closed string field theory. We construct a four-derivative cubic double field theory action invariant under the deformed gauge transformations, giving a first glimpse of the gauge principle underlying bosonic string $\alpha'$ corrections. The usual metric and $b$-field are related to the duality covariant fields by non-covariant field redefinitions.

  1. Type II RR string fields and exotic diffeomorphisms

    hep-th 2025-05 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper computes explicit gauge transformations and interactions for all Ramond-Ramond fields in type II string field theory, revealing diffeomorphisms that are not standard Lie derivatives.

  2. Gauge algebra and diffeomorphisms in string field theory

    hep-th 2025-05 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    To leading order in derivatives, the superstring gauge algebra of diffeomorphisms is independent of the off-shell vertex choice, whereas bosonic strings retain off-shell dependence for non-symmetric vertices.

  3. The non-relativistic limit of HSZ Theory

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The non-relativistic limit of HSZ theory produces non-removable metric and b-field transformation corrections, and a finite four-derivative action requires field redefinitions before the limit.

  4. Mega-Space Current Algebra and Green-Schwarz Geometry in Heterotic String Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Poláček-Siegel mega-space current algebra with Lorentz and heterotic gauge sectors embeds Chern-Simons structures and yields a Green-Schwarz-like Bianchi identity from Jacobi identities, without the α′ tr(R∧R) term.

  5. Carrollian bosonic supergravity at order $\alpha'$ and the universal cancellation of higher-curvature divergences

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Four-derivative and higher pure-gravitational α' corrections to bosonic supergravity admit a finite Carrollian limit, with an explicit action and a universal finiteness criterion for Riem^N terms.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In type 0A on a two-circle wedge, isolated collapsing-branch D_p^- sources incur infinite RR field energy cost as the branch shrinks, with possible infrared screening or discharge to D_p^+ via an effective relative-ch...
