Commuting Pairs, Generalized para-Kähler Geometry and Born Geometry

Shengda Hu,
Ruxandra Moraru,
David Svoboda

Abstract: In this paper, we study the geometries given by commuting pairs of generalized endomorphisms A ∈ End(T ⊕ T * ) with the property that their product defines a generalized metric. There are four types of such commuting pairs: generalized Kähler (GK), generalized para-Kähler (GpK), generalized chiral and generalized anti-Kähler geometries. We show that GpK geometry is equivalent to a pair of para-Hermitian structures and we derive the integrability conditions in terms of these. From the physics point of view, thi… Show more

“…As it turns out, complex projective spaces CP n are the natural setting where to carry out our investigation. They are exemplars of a broader class of algebraic varieties, known as generalised flag manifolds, which have recently benefited, alongside para-complex manifolds, from a surge of interest in the physics literature as they materialise in rich examples [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…We refer to these branes as 'generalised para-complex D-branes'. In particular, we show that the Born D-branes on an almost para-Hermitian manifold fit into this picture in a natural way: Any two-dimensional non-linear sigma-model naturally corresponds to an exact Courant algebroid (see, e.g., [38][39][40]); on an almost para-Hermitian manifold this is called the 'large Courant algebroid' [9,16,18,25]. Seen in this way, our D-branes provide natural para-complex versions of the A-branes and Bbranes of topological string theory.…”

“…Let (E, η, ρ, • , • ) be an exact pre-Courant algebroid. In Appendix A.5 we describe the natural para-Hermitian structures (K σ , η) on E. More generally, a para-complex structure K ∈ Aut1(E) which is compatible with the metric η, in the sense of Definition A1, is the analogue in generalised geometry of an almost para-Hermitian structure on a manifold and is called an almost generalised para-complex structure [18].…”
