Abstract
We study D-branes in the extended geometry appearing in exceptional field theory (or exceptional generalised geometry). Starting from the exceptional sigma model (an Ed(d) covariant worldsheet action with extra target space coordinates), we define open string boundary conditions. We write down Neumann and Dirichlet projectors compatible with the preservation of half-maximal supersymmetry by the brane (building on previous work on the definition of generalised orientifold quotients in exceptional field theory). This leads to a definition of D-branes, plus their S-duals, as particular subspaces of the exceptional geometry, and provides an opportunity to study D-branes in U-fold backgrounds.
