Double Field Theory on Group Manifolds in a Nutshell

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-04-17 v2

Abstract

We give a brief overview of the current status of Double Field Theory on Group Manifolds (DFTWZW). Therefore, we start by reviewing some basic notions known from Double Field Theory (DFT) and show how they extend/generalize into the framework of Double Field Theory on Group Manifolds. In this context, we discuss the relationship between both theories and the transition from DFTWZW to DFT. Furthermore, we address some open questions and present an outlook into our current research.
