Generalised Geometry and type II Supergravity

Abstract

Ten-dimensional type II supergravity can be reformulated as a generalised geometrical analogue of Einstein gravity, defined by an O(9,1)×O(1,9)O(10,10)×R+O(9,1)\times O(1,9)\subset O(10,10)\times\mathbb{R}^+ structure on the generalised tangent space. To leading order in the fermion fields, this allow one to rewrite the action, equations of motion and supersymmetry variations in a simple, manifestly Spin(9,1)×Spin(1,9)Spin(9,1)\times Spin(1,9)-covariant form.
