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...

A canonical connection on sub-Riemannian contact manifolds

Michael Eastwood, Katharina Neusser (2016)

Archivum Mathematicum

We construct a canonically defined affine connection in sub-Riemannian contact geometry. Our method mimics that of the Levi-Civita connection in Riemannian geometry. We compare it with the Tanaka-Webster connection in the three-dimensional case.

A certain tensor on real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form

Kazuhiro Okumura (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In a nonflat complex space form (namely, a complex projective space or a complex hyperbolic space), real hypersurfaces admit an almost contact metric structure ( φ , ξ , η , g ) induced from the ambient space. As a matter of course, many geometers have investigated real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form from the viewpoint of almost contact metric geometry. On the other hand, it is known that the tensor field h ...
