From para-Hermitian geometry to mirror symmetry
CMSA EVENTS: CMSA GENERAL RELATIVITY SEMINAR
When: November 25, 2019
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Where: CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10
Address:
20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States
Speaker: David Svoboda - Perimeter Institute
In recent years, para-Hermitian geometry has been used to describe T-duality covariant spacetimes for string theory. In my talk, I will present applications of para-Hermitian geometry to 2D (2,2) SUSY sigma models and show that this geometry gives rise to a new, yet unexplored, notion of mirror symmetry.
