The Geometry of Sigma-Models with Twisted Supersymmetry

Abstract

We investigate the relation between supersymmetry and geometry for two dimensional sigma models with target spaces of arbitrary signature, and Lorentzian or Euclidean world-sheets. In particular, we consider twisted forms of the two-dimensional (p,q)(p,q) supersymmetry algebra. Superspace formulations of the (p,q)(p,q) heterotic sigma-models with twisted or untwisted supersymmetry are given. For the twisted (2,1) and the pseudo-K\"{a}hler sigma models, we give extended superspace formulations.
