Double Field Theory: Geometry and Applications

Double field theory is an approach to make T-duality manifest in low energy Lagrangians by doubling the number of spacetime dimensions. It features an intriguing generalization of Riemannian geometry and may help understand some aspects of string theory effective actions and compactification.
