We propose a Leibniz algebra, to be called DD^++, which is a generalization of the Drinfel’d double. We find that there is a one-to-one correspondence between a DD^++ and a Jacobi–Lie bialgebra, extending the known correspondence between a Lie bialgebra and a Drinfel’d double. We then construct generalized frame fields E_A{}^M\in\text{O}(D,D)\times\mathbb{R}^+EAM∈O(D,D)×ℝ+ satisfying the algebra \hat{\pounds}_{E_A}E_B = - X_{AB}{}^C\,E_C£̂EAEB=−XABCEC, where X_{AB}{}^CXABC are the structure constants of the DD^++ and \hat{\pounds}£̂ is the generalized Lie derivative in double field theory. Using the generalized frame fields, we propose the Jacobi–Lie TT-plurality and show that it is a symmetry of double field theory. We present several examples of the Jacobi–Lie TT-plurality with or without Ramond–Ramond fields and the spectator fields.

Abstract L∞ algebras describe the underlying algebraic structure of many consistent classical field theories. In this work we analyze the algebraic structure of Gauged Double Field Theory in the generalized flux formalism. The symmetry transformations consist of a generalized deformed Lie derivative and double Lorentz transformations. We obtain all the non-trivial products in a closed form considering a generalized Kerr-Schild ansatz for the generalized frame and we include a linear perturbation for the generalized dilaton. The off-shell structure can be cast in an L3 algebra and when one considers dynamics the former is exactly promoted to an L4 algebra. The present computations show the fully algebraic structure of the fundamental charged heterotic string and the $$ {L}_3^{\mathrm{gauge}} $$ L 3 gauge structure of (Bosonic) Enhanced Double Field Theory.

Abstract We explore geometries that give rise to a novel algebraic structure, the Exceptional Drinfeld Algebra, which has recently been proposed as an approach to study generalised U-dualities, similar to the non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie generalisations of T-duality. This algebra is generically not a Lie algebra but a Leibniz algebra, and can be realised in exceptional generalised geometry or exceptional field theory through a set of frame fields giving a generalised parallelisation. We provide examples including “three-algebra geometries”, which encode the structure constants for three-algebras and in some cases give novel uplifts for CSO(p, q, r) gaugings of seven-dimensional maximal supergravity. We also discuss the M-theoretic embedding of both non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie T-duality.

Abstract A family of algebras $\mathcal{E}_n$ that extends the Lie algebra of the Drinfel’d double is proposed. This allows us to systematically construct the generalized frame fields $E_A{}^I$ which realize the proposed algebra by means of the generalized Lie derivative, i.e., $\hat{\pounds}_{E_A}E_B{}^I =-\mathcal{F}_{AB}{}^C\,E_C{}^I$. By construction, the generalized frame fields include a twist by a Nambu–Poisson tensor. A possible application to the non-Abelian extension of $U$-duality and a generalization of the Yang–Baxter deformation are also discussed.

Abstract We give a formulation of Double Field Theory (DFT) based on a metric algebroid. We derive a covariant completion of the Bianchi identities, i.e. the pre-Bianchi identity in torsion and an improved generalized curvature, and the pre-Bianchi identity including the dilaton contribution. The derived bracket formulation by the Dirac generating operator is applied to the metric algebroid. We propose a generalized Lichnerowicz formula and show that it is equivalent to the pre-Bianchi identities. The dilaton in this setting is included as an ambiguity in the divergence. The projected generalized Lichnerowicz formula gives a new formulation of the DFT action. The closure of the generalized Lie derivative on the spin bundle yields the Bianchi identities as a consistency condition. A relation to the generalized supergravity equations (GSE) is discussed.

Abstract Non-Riemannian gravitational theories suggest alternative avenues to understand properties of quantum gravity and provide a concrete setting to study condensed matter systems with non-relativistic symmetry. Derivation of an action principle for these theories generally proved challenging for various reasons. In this technical note, we employ the formulation of double field theory to construct actions for a variety of such theories. This formulation helps removing ambiguities in the corresponding equations of motion. In particular, we embed Torsional Newton-Cartan gravity, Carrollian gravity and String Newton-Cartan gravity in double field theory, derive their actions and compare with the previously obtained results in literature.

This letter studies the quantum Liouville field theory on a manifold with boundary. The boundary conformal Ward identity (CWI) is written and its semiclassical approximation is analyzed. This establishes a method of finding the accessory parameters of the theory with boundary. The boundary structure constants of the theory are defined and the functional equations which determine them are derived.

Abstract The generalized Kerr-Schild ansatz (GKSA) is a powerful tool for constructing exact solutions in Double Field Theory (DFT). In this paper we focus in the heterotic formulation of DFT, considering up to four-derivative terms in the action principle, while the field content is perturbed by the GKSA. We study the inclusion of the generalized version of the Green-Schwarz mechanism to this setup, in order to reproduce the low energy effective heterotic supergravity upon parametrization. This formalism reproduces higher-derivative heterotic background solutions where the metric tensor and Kalb-Ramond field are perturbed by a pair of null vectors. Next we study higher-derivative contributions to the classical double copy structure. After a suitable identification of the null vectors with a pair of U(1) gauge fields, the dynamics is given by a pair of Maxwell equations plus higher derivative corrections in agreement with the KLT relation.
