Exceptional field theories
Abstract
We review exceptional field theories as the duality-covariant reformulation of maximal supergravity theories in ten and eleven dimensions, that make the underlying exceptional symmetries explicit. Beyond their structural role in unifying the various maximal supergravities, we illustrate how they also provide access to very efficient techniques for tackling concrete computational problems in supergravity.
