Effective action for non-geometric fluxes duality covariant actions
Abstract The (heterotic) double field theories and the exceptional field theories are manifestly duality covariant formulations, describing low-energy limit of various super-string and M-theory compactifications. These field theories are known to be reduced to the standard descriptions by introducin...

Abstract The (heterotic) double field theories and the exceptional field theories are manifestly duality covariant formulations, describing low-energy limit of various super-string and M-theory compactifications. These field theories are known to be reduced to the standard descriptions by introducing appropriately parameterized generalized metric and by applying suitably chosen section conditions. In this paper, we apply these formulations to non-geometric backgrounds. We introduce different parameterizations for the generalized metric in terms of the dual fields which are pertinent to non-geometric fluxes. Under certain simplifying assumptions, we construct new effective action for non-geometric backgrounds. We then study the non-geometric backgrounds sourced by exotic branes and find their U -duality monodromy matrices. The charge of exotic branes obtained from these monodromy matrices agrees with the charge obtained from the non-geometric flux integral. |
