Generalized complex geometry and supersymmetric non - linear sigma models
After an elementary presentation of the relation between supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models and geometry, I focus on 2D and the target space geometry allowed when there is an extra supersymmetry. This leads to a brief introduction to generalized complex geometry, a notion introduced recently by Hitchin which interpolates between complex and symplectic manifolds. Finally I present worldsheet ...
متن کامل(2,0)-supersymmetric Sigma Models and Almost Complex Structures
We find a new class of (2,0)-supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models with torsion and target spaces almost complex manifolds extending similar results for models with (2,2) supersymmetry. These models are invariant under a new symmetry which is generated by a Noether charge of Lorentz weight one and it is associated to the Nijenhuis tensor of the almost complex structure of the sigma model ...
متن کاملOn the Geometry of Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Non-Linear Sigma-Models
One discusses here the connection between σ-model gauge anomalies and the existence of a connection with torsion that does not flattten the Ricci tensor of the target manifold. The influence of an eventual anisotropy along a certain internal direction is also contemplated. [email protected] 1 The geometrical setting, the classical dynamics and quantum-mechanical properties of non-linear σ-mode...
متن کاملOn the geometry of classically integrable two-dimensional non-linear sigma models
A master equation expressing the classical integrability of two-dimensional non-linear sigma models is found. The geometrical properties of this equation are outlined. In particular, a closer connection between integrability and T-duality transformations is emphasised. Finally, a whole new class of integrable non-linear sigma models is found and all their corresponding Lax pairs depend on a spe...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Sigma Model Geometry
This is a review of how sigma models formulated in Superspace have become important tools for understanding geometry. Topics included are: The (hyper)kähler reduction; projective superspace; the generalized Legendre construction; generalized Kähler geometry and constructions of hyperkähler metrics on Hermitian symmetric spaces.
