Lectures on generalized geometry

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: These are lecture notes mainly aimed at graduate students on selected aspects of generalized geometry: in particular generalized complex and Kaehler structures and generalized holomorphic bundles. They are based on lectures given in March 2010 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.


The aim of these notes is to present the general features of the author's generalized geometry and to focus on a few topics particularly interesting. ``The relatively new material consists of an account of Goto's existence theorem for generalized Kähler structures, examples of generalized holomorphic bundles and the B-field action on their moduli spaces.NEWLINENEWLINEThe structure of the paper is the following: 1. the Courant bracket; B-fields and metrics; 2. spinors, twists and skew torsion; 3. generalized complex manifolds; 4. generalized Kähler manifolds; 5. generalized holomorphic bundles; 6. holomorphic bundles and the B-field action.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1230.53007].
