Supersymmetry, a biased review

Lindström, U. — 2003

Proceedings of the 22nd Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

In spite of the provocative title this is a run of the mill review of supersymmetry. The only thing which deserves some comment is that the author seems to think that coordinate free and coordinate dependent treatments belong to conflicting cultures. This is definitely not true. Coordinate free treatments concentrate one's mind on the geometry while coordinate dependent treatments are indispensable for computations producing numbers which can be compared with experimental values. Those who use the...

A brief review of supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and generalized complex geometry

Ulf Lindström — 2006

Archivum Mathematicum

This is a review of the relation between supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and target space geometry. In particular, we report on the derivation of generalized Kähler geometry from sigma models with additional spinorial superfields. Some of the results reviewed are: Generalized complex geometry from sigma models in the Lagrangian formulation; Coordinatization of generalized Kähler geometry in terms of chiral, twisted chiral and semi-chiral superfields; Generalized Kähler geometry from sigma...
