Double metric, generalized metric, and α′-deformed double field theory

We relate the unconstrained “double metric” of the “α′-geometry” formulation of double field theory to the constrained generalized metric encoding the spacetime metric and b-field. This is achieved by integrating out auxiliary field components of the double metric in an iterative procedure that indu...
