Gauge field fluxes and Bianchi identities in extended field theories

Tensor hierarchy of Exceptional Field Theories contains gauge fields satisfying certain Bianchi identities with source part governing interaction with standard and exotic branes. These are responsible for tadpole cancellation in compactification schemes and provide consistency constraints for cosmological model building. Analysis of reduction of (10+10)-dimensional DFT into (D+d+d)-dimensional split DFT allows to consider all Bianchi identities of the theory in the form analogous to the ExFT approach. Here we review in details and elaborate on these ideas.
