“…An intriguing observation relates the moduli space of M-theory to the moduli spaces of del Pezzo surfaces [270], where the usual 1/2 BPS branes are given by spheres in the del Pezzo. In a very interesting recent work Kaidi [271] has constructed the relevant cycles corresponding to exotic branes and has showed they are given by higher genus curved in the del Pezzo. This then predicts more novel exotic branes.…”

This is a review of exceptional field theory: a generalisation of Kaluza-Klein theory that unifies the metric and p-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a generalised or extended geometry, whose additional coordinates may be viewed as conjugate to brane winding modes. This unifies the maximal supergravities, treating their previously-hidden exceptional Lie symmetries as a fundamental geometric symmetry. Duality orbits of solutions simplify into single objects, that in many cases have simple geometric interpretations, for instance as wave or monopole-type solutions. It also provides a route to explore exotic or non-geometric aspects of M-theory, such as exotic branes, U-folds, and more novel sorts of non-Riemannian spaces.

Abstract Type II string theory or M-theory contains a broad spectrum of gauge potentials. In addition to the standard $p$-form potentials, various mixed-symmetry potentials have been predicted, which may couple to exotic branes with non-standard tensions. Together with $p$-forms, mixed-symmetry potentials turn out to be essential to build the multiplets of the $U$-duality symmetry in each dimension. In this paper, we systematically determine the set of mixed-symmetry potentials and exotic branes on the basis of the $E_{11}$ conjecture. We also study the decompositions of $U$-duality multiplets into $T$-duality multiplets and determine which mixed-symmetry tensors are contained in each of the $U$-/$T$-duality multiplets.

This is a review of exceptional field theory: a generalisation of Kaluza–Klein theory that unifies the metric and [Formula: see text]-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a generalised or extended geometry, whose additional coordinates may be viewed as conjugate to brane winding modes. This unifies the maximal supergravities, treating their previously hidden exceptional Lie symmetries as a fundamental geometric symmetry. Duality orbits of solutions simplify into single objects, that in many cases have simple geometric interpretations, for instance as wave or monopole-type solutions.
