Findings

Unified solution encompasses all supergravity branes

Solution obeys a twisted self-duality relation

Demonstrates covariant description of M-theory objects

Abstract

Exceptional Field Theory employs an extended spacetime to make supergravity fully covariant under the U-duality groups of M-theory. This allows for the wave and monopole solutions to be combined into a single solution which obeys a twisted self-duality relation. All fundamental, solitonic and Dirichlet branes of ten- and eleven-dimensonal supergravity may be extracted from this single solution in Exceptional Field Theory.
