Kahler-Einstein and Kahler scalar flat supermanifolds
Abstract
Two results regarding K\"ahler supermanifolds with potential are shown. First, if the supermanifold is K\"ahler-Einstein, then its base (the supermanifold of one lower fermionic dimension and with K\"ahler potential ) has constant scalar curvature. As a corollary, every constant scalar curvature K\"ahler supermanifold has a unique superextension to a K\"ahler-Einstein supermanifold of one higher fermionic dimension. Second, if the supermanifold is itself scalar flat, then its base satisfies the equation where is the Laplace operator, is the scalar curvature, and is the Ricci tensor of the base, and is some harmonic section on the base. Remarkably, precisely this equation arises in the construction of certain supergravity compactifications. Examples of bosonic manifolds satisfying the equation above are discussed.
