(2, 2) geometry from gauge theory
Abstract Using gauge theory, we describe how to construct generalized Kähler geometries with (2, 2) two-dimensional supersymmetry, which are analogues of familiar examples like projective spaces and Calabi-Yau manifolds. For special cases, T-dual descriptions can be found which are squashed Kähler s...
