We investigate T-duality of a closed string moving in a weakly curved background of the second order. A previously discussed weakly curved background consisted of a flat metric and a linearly coordinate dependent Kalb-Ramond field with an…

Lorentz covariance is the fundamental principle of every relativistic field theory which insures consistent physical descriptions. Even if the space-time is noncommutative, field theories on it should keep Lorentz covariance. In this…

It has recently been shown that a set of the generalized type IIB supergravity equations follows from the requirement of kappa symmetry of the type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring theory defined on an arbitrary background. In this paper, we…

The most popular noncommutative field theories are characterized by a matrix parameter theta^(mu,nu) that violates Lorentz invariance. We consider the simplest algebra in which the theta-parameter is promoted to an operator and Lorentz…

We point out that the arguments of Zamolodchikov and others on the $T\overline T$ and similar deformations of two-dimensional field theories may be extended to the more general non-Lorentz invariant case, for example non-relativistic and…

In this manuscript we study the superstring theory with an Abelian worldsheet gauge field. The components of the gauge field appear as a space and a time coordinates. We call them "fictitious coordinates". The worldsheet supersymmetry and…

We explain how the spacetime diffeomorphism in the classical bosonic closed string field theory (SFT) is represented as $L_\infty$ gauge transformations in weakly curved backgrounds. In particular, we demonstrate the explicit map between…

We suggest an infinite-dimensional extension of the gauge transformations which includes non-Abelian tensor gauge fields. Extended gauge transformations of non-Abelian tensor gauge fields form a new large group which has natural geometrical…

We propose a harmonic superspace description of the non-linear vector-tensor N=2 multiplet. We show that there exist two inequivalent version: the old one in which one of the vectors is the field-strength of a gauge two-form, and a new one…

In earlier work, using the light cone picture, a world sheet field theory that sums planar phi^3 graphs was constructed and developed. Since this theory is both non-local and not explicitly Lorentz invariant, it is desirable to have a…

A previous supersymmetric preon scenario for visible matter particles is extended to the dark sector. In addition, the scenario is reformulated as a Double Field Theory (DFT) with four extra dimensions, to avoid a singular Big Bang in…

As a contribution towards the understanding for the field equations of diffeomorphism invariant theories of pure gravity, we demonstrate in great detail that the expression for the field equations of such theories can be derived within the…

We consider the AdS/CFT correspondence between the beta-deformed supersymmetric gauge theory and the type IIB string theory on the Lunin-Maldacena background. Guided by gauge theory results, we modify and extend the supergravity solution of…

We recast the action of pure gravity into a form that is invariant under a twofold Lorentz symmetry. To derive this representation, we construct a general parameterization of all theories equivalent to the Einstein-Hilbert action up to a…

The gauged sigma-model argument that string backgrounds related by T-dual give equivalent quantum theories is revisited, taking careful account of global considerations. The topological obstructions to gauging sigma-models give rise to…

We construct a supersymmetric extension of double field theory that realizes the ten-dimensional Majorana-Weyl local supersymmetry. In terms of a stringy differential geometry we proposed earlier, our action consists of five simple terms --…

We consider a generalization of a duality symmetric model proposed by Schwarz and Sen. It is based on enlarging the model with a dynamical vector field being a time-like component of a local Lorentz frame. This allows one to preserve the…

Using a generalised Noether prescription we are able to extract all the currents and their conservation laws in space dependent shift symmetric theories. Various identities among the currents in the matter sector are found that form the…

We present a summary of the applications of duality to Donaldson-Witten theory and its generalizations. Special emphasis is made on the computation of Donaldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants using recent results in N=2…

We reveal non-manifest gauge and SO(1,5) Lorentz symmetries in the Lagrangian description of a six-dimensional free chiral field derived from the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model in arXiv:0804.3629 and make this formulation covariant with…
