Abstract
We consider the previous proposal of the author to use an extension of space-time obtained by taking the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E11 with a set of generators belonging to one of the fundamental representations of E11. We determine, at low levels, the symmetries that the associated point particle moving in this generalised space-time should possess and write down the corresponding action. Quantisation of similar actions has been shown to lead to the unfolded formulation of higher spin theories and we argue that the generalised coordinates will lead in the non-linear realisation to an infinite number of propagating higher spin fields.
