We find necessary and sufficient conditions for gauge invariance of the action of Double Field Theory (DFT) as well as closure of the algebra of gauge symmetries. The so-called weak and strong constraints are sufficient to satisfy them, but…

N=2 closed strings have been recently divided in hep-th/0211147 to two T-dual families denoted by \alpha and \beta. In (2,2) signature both families have one scalar in the spectrum. The scalar in the \beta-string is known to be a…
