Abstract

We construct the supersymmetric completion of E6(6)_{6(6)}-covariant exceptional field theory. The theory is based on a (5+27)(5+27)-dimensional generalized space-time subject to a covariant section constraint. The fermions are tensors under the local Lorentz group SO(1,4)×USp(8){\rm SO}(1,4)\times {\rm USp}(8) and transform as weighted scalars under the E6(6)_{6(6)} (internal) generalized diffeomorphisms. We present the complete Lagrangian and prove its invariance under supersymmetry. Upon explicit solution of the section constraint the theory embeds full D=11D=11 supergravity and IIB supergravity, respectively.
