Lectures on generalized complex geometry for physicists

P Koerber - Fortschritte der Physik, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
In these lectures we review Generalized Complex Geometry and discuss two main
applications to string theory: the description of supersymmetric flux compactifications and the …

Generalized complex geometry and T-duality

GR Cavalcanti, M Gualtieri - arXiv preprint arXiv:1106.1747, 2011 - arxiv.org
We describe how generalized complex geometry, which interpolates between complex and
symplectic geometry, is compatible with T-duality, a relation between quantum field theories …

[HTML][HTML] Non-Kähler Calabi-Yau geometry and pluriclosed flow

M Garcia-Fernandez, J Jordan, J Streets - Journal de Mathématiques Pures …, 2023 - Elsevier
Hermitian, pluriclosed metrics with vanishing Bismut-Ricci form give a natural extension of
Calabi-Yau metrics to the setting of complex, non-Kähler manifolds, and arise independently …

Generalized Kähler geometry

M Gualtieri - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2014 - Springer
Generalized Kähler geometry is the natural analogue of Kähler geometry, in the context of
generalized complex geometry. Just as we may require a complex structure to be …

Classical and quantum aspects of Yang-Baxter Wess-Zumino models

S Demulder, S Driezen, A Sevrin… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the integrable Yang-Baxter deformation of the 2d Principal Chiral
Model with a Wess-Zumino term. For arbitrary groups, the one-loop β-functions are …

Pluriclosed flow and the geometrization of complex surfaces

J Streets - Geometric Analysis: In Honor of Gang Tian's 60th …, 2020 - Springer
We recall fundamental aspects of the pluriclosed flow equation and survey various existence
and convergence results, and the various analytic techniques used to establish them …

Generalized Kähler almost abelian Lie groups

A Fino, F Paradiso - Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata (1923-), 2021 - Springer
We study left-invariant generalized Kähler structures on almost abelian Lie groups, ie, on
solvable Lie groups with a codimension-one abelian normal subgroup. In particular, we …

[HTML][HTML] Special Hermitian metrics on compact solvmanifolds

A Fino, L Vezzoni - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2015 - Elsevier
We review some constructions and properties of complex manifolds admitting pluriclosed
and balanced metrics. We prove that for a 6-dimensional solvmanifold endowed with an …

Tamed Symplectic forms and Strong Kahler with torsion metrics

N Enrietti, A Fino, L Vezzoni - 2012 - projecteuclid.org
Symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are strictly related to
Hermitian metrics having the fundamental form ∂̄∂-closed, ie, to strong Kähler with …

Streets-Tian Conjecture on several special types of Hermitian manifolds

Y Guo, F Zheng - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.09425, 2024 - arxiv.org
A Hermitian-symplectic metric is a Hermitian metric whose K\" ahler form is given by the $(1,
1) $-part of a closed $2 $-form. Streets-Tian Conjecture states that a compact complex …
