Abstract: We endow the group of automorphisms of an exact Courant algebroid over a compact manifold with an infinite dimensional Lie group structure modelled on the inverse limit of Hilbert spaces (ILH). We prove a slice theorem for the action of this Lie group on the space of generalized metrics. As an application, we show that the moduli space of generalized metrics is stratified by ILH submanifolds and relate it to the moduli space of usual metrics. Finally, we extend these results to odd exact Courant algebroids.

Review text

This paper provides the foundations for a programme concerning the action of symmetries, automorphisms of a Courant algebroid, on geometric structures in generalized geometry. The authors of the paper under review equip the group of automorphisms of an exact Courant algebroid over a compact manifold with an infinite dimensional Lie group structure modeled on the inverse limit of Hilbert spaces (ILH). This Lie group acts on the space of generalized metrics and the paper under review studies the properties of this action. The authors prove a slice theorem for this action, and, as an application, show that the moduli space of generalized metrics is stratified by ILH submanifolds and relate it to the moduli space of usual metrics. Then the authors provide an extension of the mentioned results to odd exact Courant algebroids.
