E11 and the non-linear dual graviton

Abstract

The non-linear duality relation between the gravity and dual gravity fields are found in E theory by carrying out $E_{11}$ variations of previously found duality relations. We also find the dual graviton equation of motion up to the addition of some very specific terms whose coefficients are not determined. Using the calculations in this paper this ambiguity was resolved in reference [15] where the full non-linear dual gravity equation was found. As a result the equations of motion in E theory have now been found at the full non-linear level up to, and including, level three, which contains the dual graviton field. When truncated to contain fields at levels three and less, and the spacetime is restricted to be the familiar eleven dimensional space time, the equations are equivalent to those of eleven dimensional supergravity.
