E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: We present a model of (double) kinetic theory which paves the way to describe matter in a Double Field Theory background. Generalized diffeomorphisms acting on double phase space tensors are introduced. The generalized covariant derivative is replaced by a generalized Liouville operator as it happens in relativistic kinetic theory. The section condition is consistently extended and the closure of the generalized transformations is still given by the C-bracket. In this context we propose a generalized Boltzmann equation and compute the moments of the latter, obtaining an expression for the generalized energymomentum tensor and its conservation law. Keywords: String Duality, Classical Theories of Gravity ArXiv ePrint: 2003.09588

Introduction
The Einstein’s field equations, Gµν = Tµν
(1.1)
are fundamental relations which describe the dynamics of matter coupled to gravity in a Riemannian D-dimensional background (µ = 0, . . . , D − 1). The l.h.s. of the equation is given by the Einstein tensor, a divergenceless and symmetric tensor that depends on the geometric properties of the D-dimensional space-time and the r.h.s. is related to the matter and energy content of the system. Kinetic theory is the usual way to describe matter from microscopic principles. In this scheme the energy-momentum tensor is the second moment of the one-particle distribution function f = f [x, p] [1–4], Z √ µν T = p µ p ν f g dD p , (1.2)
