DESCRIPTION:It has been shown that non-geometric fluxes appear in ten-dime
 nsional supergravity by performing a field redefinition. Following a simil
 ar strategy in double field theory surprisingly allows for a geometric int
 erpretation of these fluxes. More precisely\, the Q-flux appears as part o
 f a dual curvature scalar\, reminiscent of the geometric flux f. The R-flu
 x turns out to be a tensor and appears in the same way as the usual H-flux
  does. Solving the strong constraint connects this formalism to the ten-di
 mensional approach. Furthermore\, some recent lifts of four-dimensional ga
 uged supergravity to double field theory can be matched.\n\n
