چکیده

Eleven-dimensional supergravity reveals large exceptional symmetries upon reduction, in accordance with the U-duality groups of M-theory, but their higher-dimensional geometric origin has remained a mystery. In this letter, we show that D = 11 supergravity can be extended to be fully covariant under the exceptional groups E n(n), n = 6, 7, 8. Motivated by a similar formulation of double field theory we introduce an extended ‘exceptional spacetime’. We illustrate the construction by giving the explicit E6(6) covariant form: the full D = 11 supergravity, in a 5 + 6 splitting of coordinates but without truncation, embeds into an E6(6) covariant 5 + 27 dimensional theory. We argue that this covariant form likewise comprises type IIB supergravity.

In this work the exceptional field theory formulation of supergravity with SL(5) gauge group is considered. This group appears as a U-duality group of D = 7 maximal supergravity. In the formalism presented the hidden global duality group is promoted into a gauge group of a theory in dimensions 7+number of extended directions. This work is a continuation of the series of works for E8,7,6, SO(5, ...

Entanglement entropy is typically proportional to area, but sometimes it acquires an additional logarithmic pre-factor. We offer some intuitive explanations for these facts.

Data for the scattering of 6 He, 8 He, 9 Li, and 11 Li from hydrogen are analyzed within a fully microscopic folding model of proton-nucleus scattering. Current data suggest that of these only 11 Li has a noticeable halo. The available data for the 6 Li(γ, π +) 6 He gs reaction support the conclusion that 6 He does not.

T-duality, Non-geometry and Lie Algebroids in Heterotic Double Field Theory

A number of issues in heterotic double field theory are studied. This includes the analysis of the T-dual configurations of a flat constant gauge flux background, which turn out to be non-geometric. Performing a field redefinition to a nongeometric frame, these T-duals take a very simple form reminiscent of the constant Qand R-flux backgrounds. In addition, it is shown how the analysis of arXiv...
