Open AccessNon-Riemannian isometries from double field theory
We explore the notion of isometries in non-Riemannian geometries. Such geometries include and generalise the backgrounds of non-relativistic string theory, and they can be naturally described using the formali...

Open AccessA note on Faddeev-Popov action for doubled-yet-gauged particle and graded Poisson geometry
The section condition of Double Field Theory has been argued to mean that doubled coordinates are gauged: a gauge orbit represents a single physical point. In this note, we consider a doubled and at the same t...
