Abstract: (APS)
Despite remarkable success in describing supergravity reductions and backgrounds, generalized geometry and exceptional field theory are still lacking a fundamental object of differential geometry, the Riemann tensor. We show that to construct it, a hierarchy of connections is required. They complement the spin connection with higher representations known from the tensor hierarchy. This approach allows to define generalized homogeneous spaces which underlie generalized U-duality, admit consistent truncations and provide a huge class of new flux backgrounds with nontrivial structure groups.Note:
