Double field theory approach to strings and their quantum corrections. (DFTASQC)

Double field theory (DFT) formalism uses T-duality of the underlying string model and makes it manifest, creating an O(d,d) covariant theory with double the number of coordinates. This formalism has proven very useful for supergravity calculations (e.g., proving Weyl invariance of Yang-Baxter deformed string at two loops). This project aims to explore quantum corrections and their structure. The main concern will be second-order corrections and their extension to higher orders
