We present an extended version of Riemannian geometry suitable for the description of current formulations of double field theory (DFT). This framework is based on graded manifolds and it yields extended notions of symmetries, dynamical data and constraints. In special cases, we recover general relativity with and without 1-, 2- and 3-form gauge potentials as well as DFT. We believe that our extended Riemannian geometry helps to clarify the role of various constructions in DFT. For example, it leads to a covariant form of the strong section condition. Furthermore, it should provide a useful step towards global and coordinate invariant descriptions of T- and U-duality invariant field theories.

  1. Tensor hierarchy algebras and extended geometry II: Gauge structure and dynamics

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The gauge structure and pseudo-action of extended geometry with ancillary transformations are encoded by a tensor hierarchy algebra S(g+), yielding a partial L-infinity description for finite-dimensional structure groups.
