Abstract
We consider the generalised space-time introduced by the author in 2003 in the context of the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E 11 and its first fundamental representation. For all the fields we propose gauge transformations which are compatible with the underlying E 11 structure. A crucial role is played by the generalised vielbein that the generalised space-time possess. We work out the explicit form of the gauge transformations, at low levels, in four, five and eleven dimensions.
