# Generalising Courant algebroids to M-theory

## TL;DR

This paper extends the mathematical framework of Courant algebroids to M-theory, linking it with generalized geometry and dualities in string and M-brane physics.

## Contribution

It introduces M-theoretic generalizations of Courant algebroids, connecting them to U-duality and the physics of membranes and fivebranes.

## Key findings

- M-theoretic Courant algebroids are formulated.
- Connections to generalized geometry and U-duality are established.
- Framework supports the physics of strings, membranes, and fivebranes.

## Abstract

We introduce M-theoretic generalisations of the notion of (exact) Courant algebroid, and summarise their connections to generalised geometry, U-duality, and the physics of strings, membranes, and fivebranes. This is a summary of a paper [1], presented at the CORFU2018 workshop "Dualities and Generalized Geometries".
