Abstract

We define (p,q)(p,q) hermitian geometry as the target space geometry of the two dimensional (p,q)(p,q) supersymmetric sigma model. This includes generalised K\"{a}hler geometry for (2,2)(2,2), generalised hyperk\"{a}hler geometry for (4,2)(4,2), strong K\"{a}hler with torsion geometry for (2,1)(2,1) and strong hyperk\"{a}hler with torsion geometry for (4,1)(4,1). We provide a generalised complex geometry formulation of hermitian geometry, generalising Gualtieri's formulation of the (2,2)(2,2) case. Our formulation involves a chiral version of generalised complex structure and we provide explicit formulae for the map to generalised geometry.
