Fivebranes, dualities and non-geometry
Abstract
In this contribution we would like to review and clarify the relation between a large class of extended objects in string theory and a set of generalized fluxes appearing in string compactifications. The main focus of this work is on the interplay between branes and dualities, which leads to novel states which are important for string physics. The main result that we would like to describe is the coupling of these new branes to the background fields of string theory and the exact correspondence between them and generalized stringy fluxes.
