From para-Hermitian geometry to mirror symmetry

CMSA GENERAL RELATIVITY SEMINAR

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.
