Generalized complex manifolds and supersymmetry. (English) Zbl 1118.53048

Commun. Math. Phys. 257, No. 1, 235-256 (2005).
The aim of the paper is to present a world-sheet realization of Hitchin’s “generalized complex structure”. For this the authors discuss three different two dimensional models inspired by the usual sigma model. It is shown that the super-symmetric extension of these models is related to generalized complex structures.
