Abstract:
In this note we study exceptional algebroids, focusing on their relation to type IIB superstring theory. We show that a IIB-exact exceptional algebroid locally has a standard form given by the exceptional tangent bundle. We derive possible twists, given by a flat gl(2,R)-connection, a covariantly closed pair of 3-forms, and a 5-form, and comment on their physical interpretation.
