Exotic branes in Exceptional Field Theory: E 7(7) and beyond

Abstract In recent years, it has been widely argued that the duality transformations of string and M-theory naturally imply the existence of so-called ‘exotic branes’ — low codimension objects with highly non-perturbative tensions, scaling as g s α for α ≤ −3. We argue that their intimate link with...
