Chiral de Rham complex on Riemannian manifolds and special holonomy (Q1944831): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors study how to construct global sections of the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) on some special manifolds for a given differential form on the manifold. As it is said in the paper, their main technical theorem yields two non-trivial embeddings of the spaces of differential forms on a Riemannian manifold into global sections of the CDR. They are also interested in studying the properties of the subalgebra of CDR generated by the sections they have constructed that are associated to covariantly constant forms on the manifold. Their main result here is the construction of two commuting copies of the Odake algebra on a Calabi-Yau threefold.
