DESCRIPTION:Extended field theory uses generalised geometry and an enlarge
 d coordinate space to give a manifestly U-duality invariant version of 11-
 dimensional supergravity. I will show how for the SL(5) U-duality group re
 levant to four dimensions\, the extended field theory contains not just a 
 truncation of type IIA but also one of type IIB theory on an equal footing
 . This truncation is obtained by using an unconventional three-dimensional
  section of the extended coordinate space and provides a reason for existe
 nce of the extra coordinates. I will also discuss how the M*\, IIA* and II
 B* theories arise when a Lorentzian version of extended field theory is us
 ed.
