## TL;DR

This paper presents a geometrical approach to Kaluza-Klein reduction of low-energy string effective actions using generalized geometry and Courant algebroids, providing a new framework for dimensional reduction in string theory.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel geometrical method for Kaluza-Klein reduction based on Courant algebroids and generalized geometry, with formal proofs and tools.

## Key findings

- A new reduction framework for string effective actions.
- Formal proof of the reduction method.
- Enhanced understanding of geometrical structures in string theory.

## Abstract

Equations of motion of low-energy string effective actions can be conveniently described in terms of generalized geometry and Levi-Civita connections on Courant algebroids. This approach is used to propose and prove a suitable version of the Kaluza-Klein-like reduction. Necessary geometrical tools are recalled.
