We study N=2 nonlinear two dimensional sigma models with boundaries and their massive generalizations (the Landau-Ginzburg models). These models are defined over either Kahler or bihermitian target space manifolds. We determine the most…

We analyse the geometry of four-dimensional bosonic manifolds arising within the context of $N=4, D=1$ supersymmetry. We demonstrate that both cases of general hyper-K\"ahler manifolds, i.e. those with translation or rotational isometries,…

We take a fresh look at the relation between generalised K\"ahler geometry and $N=(2,2)$ supersymmetric sigma models in two dimensions formulated in terms of $(2,2)$ superfields. Dual formulations in terms of different kinds of superfield…

The zero modes of the monodromy extended SU(2) WZNW model give rise to a gauge theory with a finite dimensional state space. A generalized BRS operator $A$ such that $A^h=0 (h=k+2=3,4,...$ being the height of the current algebra…

It has long been appreciated that the toroidal reduction of any gravity or supergravity to two dimensions gives rise to a scalar coset theory exhibiting an infinite-dimensional global symmetry. This symmetry is an extension of the…

We study CKT (or bi-HKT) N = 4 supersymmetric quantum mechanical sigma models. They are characterized by the usual and the mirror sectors displaying each HKT geometry. When the metric involves isometries, a Hamiltonian reduction is…

We show that, locally, all geometric objects of Generalized Kahler Geometry can be derived from a function K, the "generalized Kahler potential''. The metric g and two-form B are determined as nonlinear functions of second derivatives of K.…

Generalized complex geometry, as developed by Hitchin, contains complex and symplectic geometry as its extremal special cases. In this thesis, we explore novel phenomena exhibited by this geometry, such as the natural action of a B-field.…

On a compact complex manifold $(M, J)$ endowed with a holomorphic Poisson tensor $\pi_J$ and a deRham class $\alpha\in H^2(M, \mathbb R)$, we study the space of generalized K\"ahler (GK) structures defined by a symplectic form $F\in \alpha$…

We have developed N=1 supersymmetric nonlinear realization methods, which realize global symmetry breaking in N=1 supersymmetric theories. The target space of nonlinear sigma models with a linear model origin is a G^C-orbit, which is a…

We consider gauged sigma-models from a Riemann surface into a Kaehler and hamiltonian G-manifold X. The supersymmetric N=2 theory can always be twisted to produce a gauged A-model. This model localizes to the moduli space of solutions of…

We prove a remarkable generalization of a convexity theorem for semisimple symmetric spaces G/H established earlier in 1986 by the second named author. The latter result generalized Kostant's non-linear convexity theorem for the Iwasawa…

We investigate doubled (generalized) complex structures in $2D$-dimensional Born geometries where T-duality symmetry is manifestly realized. We show that K\"{a}hler, hyperk\"{a}hler, bi-hermitian and bi-hypercomplex structures of spacetime…

We develop a theory of reduction for generalized Kahler and hyper-Kahler structures which uses the generalized Riemannian metric in an essential way, and which is not described with reference solely to a single generalized complex…

We construct a one-to-one map between the primary fields of the N=2 superconformal Kazama-Suzuki models G(m,n,k) and G(k,n,m) based on complex Grassmannian cosets, using level-rank duality of Wess-Zumino-Witten models. We then show that…

We construct a Kahler structure (which we call a generalised Kahler cone) on an open subset of the cone of a strongly pseudo-convex CR manifold endowed with a 1-parameter family of compatible Sasaki structures. We determine those…

We revisit generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler reduction introduced by Lin and Tolman in \cite{LT} from a viewpoint of geometric invariant theory. It is shown that in the strong Hamiltonian case introduced in the present paper, many well-known…
