Lüst, Dieter; Malek, Emanuel und Syvaeri, Marc (2018): Locally non-geometric fluxes and missing momenta in M-theory. In: Journal of High Energy Physics, Nr. 1, 50 [PDF, 561kB]

Abstract

We use exceptional field theory to describe locally non-geometric spaces of M-theory of more than three dimensions. For these spaces, we find a new set of locally non-geometric fluxes which lie in the R-R sector in the weak-coupling limit and can typically be characterised by mixed symmetry tensors. These spaces thus provide new examples of non-geometric backgrounds which go beyond the NS-NS sector of string theory. Starting from twisted tori we construct duality chains that lead to these new non-geometric backgrounds and we show that, just as in the four-dimensional case, there are missing momenta associated to the mixed symmetry tensors.
