What U Can Do: New Solutions and New Challenges Beyond Leading Order
Abstract
String theories naturally exhibit dualities that lead to hidden symmetries in the low-energy effective description, which have been used to great effect to generate supergravity solutions. We review recent progress in using hidden symmetries arising from T-duality to generate higher-derivative-corrected solutions, as well as the problems that arise from non-perturbative effects when extending this paradigm to hidden symmetries arising from U-duality.
