Double field theory at order α′

We investigate α′ corrections of bosonic strings in the framework of double field theory. The previously introduced “doubled α′-geometry” gives α′-deformed gauge transformations arising in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism but does not apply to bosonic strings. These require a differe...
