Target space duality in string theory
TL;DR: In this paper, target space duality and discrete symmetries in string theory are reviewed in different settings, and the authors present a generalization of the duality to string theory.

Double Field Theory
Chris Hull,Barton Zwiebach +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalized metric formulation of double field theory
TL;DR: The generalized metric as discussed by the authors is a covariant symmetric matrix constructed from the metric and two-form gauge field and arises in generalized geometry and can be viewed as a metric on the doubled spacetime and use it to give a simple formulation with manifest T-duality of the double field theory that describes the massless sector of closed strings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Background independent action for double field theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct a nonlinear background-independent action that is T-duality invariant and realizes the Courant algebra in double field theory, which describes a massless subsector of closed string theory with both momentum and winding excitations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Gauge algebra of double field theory and Courant brackets
Chris Hull,Barton Zwiebach +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the symmetry algebra of the recently proposed field theory on a doubled torus that describes closed string modes on a torus with both momentum and winding was investigated and it was shown that the bracket for such restricted parameters is the Courant bracket.

The Meaning of Relativity
TL;DR: The Meaning of Relativity as mentioned in this paper is the first book by Einstein to be published by an American publisher, having been published by Princeton University Press in 1921 under the title "The Stafford Little Lectures for that year".
Journal ArticleDOI
Noncompact Symmetries in String Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore non-compact groups in the case of toroidal compactification both from the viewpoint of low-energy effective field theory, using the method of dimensional reduction, and from the view of the string theory world sheet.

G. Y. Rainich,Albert Einstein +1 more
TL;DR: The Meaning of Relativity as discussed by the authors is the first book by Einstein to be published by an American publisher, having been published by the Princeton University Press in 1921, five years after the appearance of his comprehensive paper on general relativity and twelve years before he left Europe permanently to join the Institute for Advanced Study.
