Abstract
We present the generalized Scherk-Schwarz reduction ansatz for the full supersymmetric exceptional eld theory in terms of group valued twist matrices subject to consistency equations. With this ansatz the eld equations precisely reduce to those of lowerdimensional gauged supergravity parametrized by an embedding tensor. We explicitly construct a family of twist matrices as solutions of the consistency equations. They induce gauged supergravities with gauge groups SOpp;qq and CSOpp;q;rq. Geometrically, they describe compactications on internal spaces given by spheres and (warped) hyperboloides H p;q , thus extending the applicability of generalized Scherk-Schwarz reductions beyond homogeneous spaces. Together with the dictionary that relates exceptional eld

Gauged Supergravities.

TL;DR: In this article, a general review of extended supergravities and their gauging using the duality-covariant embedding tensor formalism is given, and an overview of the gauging procedure and related tensor hierarchy in higher-dimensional models is given.

Consistent Type IIB Reductions to Maximal 5D Supergravity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used exceptional field theory as a tool to work out the full nonlinear reduction ansatz for the compactification of IIB supergravity and its noncompact counterparts in which the sphere was replaced by the inhomogeneous hyperboloidal space.

Exceptional field theory: SL(5)

TL;DR: In this article, a duality-invariant pseudo-action formulation for the U-duality group SO(5, 5) is presented, which after reduction gives the maximal D = 6 supergravity.

Exceptional field theory: $SO(5,5)$

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct an exceptional field theory for the group $SO(5,5)$ based on the extended (6+16)-dimensional spacetime, which after reduction gives the maximal $D=6$ supergravity.

Unification of Type-II Strings and T Duality

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified description of the low energy limits of type-II string theories is presented by a formulation that doubles the space-time coordinates in order to realize the T-duality group O(10,10) geometrically.

Supergravity in theory in 11 dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, the action and transformation laws of supergravity in 11 dimensions were presented, which is expected to be closely related to the O(8) theory in 4 dimensions after dimensional reduction.

The SO(8) supergravity

TL;DR: In this paper, the SO(8) supergravity theory was derived by dimensional reduction of the super gravity theory in 11 dimensions to 4 dimensions, where the equations of motion are invariant under the global non-compact group E7(+7).

How to get masses from extra dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized method of dimensional reduction, applicable to theories in curved space, is described, where the extra dimensions are related to the manifold of a Lie group and the resulting theory has no cosmological constant, a well-behaved potential, and a number of arbitrary mass parameters.

Double Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of massless fields on the doubled torus was constructed, which includes usual and dual diffeomorphisms, together with a T-duality acting on fields that have explicit dependence on the torus coordinates and the dual coordinates.
