This is a review of exceptional field theory: a generalisation of Kaluza-Klein theory that unifies the metric and $p$-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a generalised or extended geometry, whose additional coordinates may be viewed as conjugate to brane winding modes. This unifies the maximal supergravities, treating their previously-hidden exceptional Lie symmetries as a fundamental geometric symmetry. Duality orbits of solutions simplify into single objects, that in many cases have simple geometric interpretations, for instance as wave or monopole-type solutions. It also provides a route to explore exotic or non-geometric aspects of M-theory, such as exotic branes, U-folds, and more novel sorts of non-Riemannian spaces.

  1. Maximal trombone supergravity from wrapped M5-branes

    hep-th 2026-01 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.

  2. Kaluza-Klein Perturbation Theory from Exceptional Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    E6(6) ExFT yields gauge-invariant first-order KK fluctuation equations and a homotopy-transfer Higgs mechanism, applied partly to Kerr-Newman AdS5 near-horizon stability.

  3. Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Proposes enlarged worldline models with coadjoint orbit terms and generalized worldvolume theories for exotic branes that make E8 duality covariance manifest in a Hamiltonian formulation.

  4. Duality-covariant particles and exotic branes

    hep-th 2026-06 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.

  5. Consistent Truncations from Duality Symmetries and Desingularization of Orbifold Uplifts

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    G_S-invariant subsectors yield consistent truncations for pure supergravities and prove that type IIB uplifts of multicharge spindle solutions are always non-regular with eight codimension-six orbifold singularities.
