E8 geometry

Abstract: We investigate exceptional generalised diffeomorphisms based on E8(8) in a geometric setting. The transformations include gauge transformations for the dual gravity field. The surprising key result, which allows for a development of a tensor formalism, is that it is possible to define fiel...
