Idea
Exotic branes are non-perturbative branes in non-perturbative string theory, describing non-geometric backgrounds.
Figure grabbed from (BMO19). «A comparison of the objects covered by the geometric solutions (backed by orange hashing) and non-geometric solutions (backed by green hashing) out of all the branes down to codimension- and , as well as their M-theory lifts. Red lines denote T-duality, blue lines denote lifts/reductions and black lines denote S-dualities.»
