Abstract: Four-dimensional supersymmetric N = 1 vacua of type IIB supergravity are elegantly described by generalized complex geometry. However, this approach typically obscures the SL(2, R) covariance of the underlying theory. We show how to rewrite the pure spinor equations of Grana, Minasian, Petrini and Tomasiello (hep-th/0505212) in a manifestly SL(2,R) covariant fashion. Solutions to these equations fall into two classes: "charged" solutions, such as those containing D5-branes, and "chargeless" solutions, such as F-theory solutions in the Sen limit and AdS4 solutions. We derive covariant supersymmetry conditions for the chargeless case, allowing general SU(3)xSU(3) structure. The formalism presented here greatly simplifies the study of the ten-dimensional geometry of general supersymmetric compactifications of F-theory.
