The author shows how the Courant bracket can be used to define the Levi-Civita connection and connections with skew torsion. He investigates a five dimensional invariant functional, which involves three Courant-commuting sections of \(T\oplus T^*\). A Hamiltonian flow arising from this corresponds to a version of the Nahm equations and the six-dimensional geometrical structure describing this is investigated. The paper under review is based on an earlier paper of the author in [Q. J. Math. 54, 281--308 (2003; Zbl 1076.32019)].
