Supersymmetric WZ-Poisson sigma model and twisted generalized complex geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been shown recently that extended supersymmetry in twisted firstorder sigma models is related to twisted generalized complex geometry in the target. In the general case there are additional algebraic and differential conditions relating the twisted generalized complex structure and the geometrical data defining the model. We study in the Hamiltonian formalism the case of vanishing metric, which is the supersymmetric version of the WZPoisson sigma model. We prove that the compatibility conditions reduce to an algebraic equation, which represents a considerable simplification with respect to the general case. We also show that this algebraic condition has a very natural geometrical interpretation. In the derivation of these results the notion of contravariant connections on twisted Poisson manifolds turns out to be very useful. ∗e-mail: [email protected]

Generalized Complex Geometry and the Poisson Sigma Model
The supersymmetric Poisson Sigma model is studied as a possible worldsheet realization of generalized complex geometry. Generalized complex structures alone do not guarantee non-manifest N = (2, 1) or N = (2, 2) supersymmetry, but a certain relation among the different Poisson structures is needed. Moreover, important relations of an additional almost complex structure are found, which have no ...
متن کاملA brief review of supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and generalized complex geometry
This is a review of the relation between supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and target space geometry. In particular, we report on the derivation of generalized Kähler geometry from sigma models with additional spinorial superfields. Some of the results reviewed are: Generalized complex geometry from sigma models in the Lagrangian formulation; Coordinatization of generalized Kähler geometry...
متن کاملThe general ( 2 , 2 ) gauged sigma model with three – form flux
We find the conditions under which a Riemannian manifold equipped with a closed threeform and a vector field define an on–shell N = (2, 2) supersymmetric gauged sigma model. The conditions are that the manifold admits a twisted generalized Kähler structure, that the vector field preserves this structure, and that a so–called generalized moment map exists for it. By a theorem in generalized comp...
متن کاملT-duality, quotients and generalized Kähler geometry
In this paper we reopen the discussion of gauging the two-dimensional off-shell (2, 2) supersymmetric sigma models written in terms of semichiral superfields. The associated target space geometry of this particular sigma model is generalized Kähler (or bi-hermitean with two noncommuting complex structures). The gauging of the isometries of the sigma model is now done by coupling the semichiral ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Topological Field Theory induced from Generalized Complex Structure
We construct a three-dimensional topological sigma model which is induced from a generalized complex structure on a target generalized complex manifold. This model is constructed from maps from a three-dimensional manifold X to an arbitrary generalized complex manifold M . The theory is invariant under the diffeomorphism on the world volume and the b-transformation on the generalized complex st...
