In the first part, Hyperkaehler Embeddings and Holomorphic symplectic Geometry I, we prove the following. Let $N$ be a closed analytic subvariety of a generic deformation of a holomorphically symplectic compact manifold $M$. Then the…

Reconsideration of the T-duality of the open string allows us to introduce some geometric features in non-geometric theories. First, we have found what symmetry is T-dual to the local gauge transformations. It includes transformations of…

We review the general properties of target spaces of hypermultiplets, which are quaternionic-like manifolds, and discuss the relations between these manifolds and their symmetry generators. We explicitly construct a one-to-one map between…

We present new families of non-supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity with non-relativistic symmetry, based on six-dimensional Kaehler-Einstein manifolds. In constructing these solutions, we make use of a consistent reduction to a…

In this contribution, a mathematical framework is constructed to relate and compare non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) in the category of smooth manifolds. In particular, it can be used to compare those aspects of field…

Violating the strong constraint of double field theory, non-geometric fluxes were argued to give rise to noncommutative/nonassociative structures. We derive in a rather pedestrian physicist way a differential geometry on the simplest…

The present paper gives an account and quantifies the change in topology induced by small and type II geometric transitions, by introducing the notion of the \emph{homological type} of a geometric transition. The obtained results agree…

In this paper we study the para-hyperK\"ahler geometry of the deformation space of MGHC anti-de Sitter structures on $\Sigma\times\mathbb R$, for $\Sigma$ a closed oriented surface. We show that a neutral pseudo-Riemannian metric and three…

We construct a Lagrangian formulation of \Nf supersymmetric mechanics with hyper-K\"{a}hler sigma models in a bosonic sector in the non-Abelian background gauge field. The resulting action includes a wide class of \Nf supersymmetric…

The main results presented in this dissertation are the following - We have shown that in $d=4$ weak hyperkahler torsion structures are the same that hypercomplex structures and the same that the Plebanski-Finley conformally invariant…

Using the low energy limit of type IIB superstring theory, we obtain the non-extremal limit of deformed conifold geometry which is dual to the IR limit of large N thermal QCD.At low temperatures, the extremal geometry without black hole is…

We give the general form of supersymmetric backgrounds with two real supercharges of M-theory and type IIA supergravity (with non-zero Romans mass in general) of the form $\mathbb{R}^{1,d} \times \M_8$, d=1,2, on eight-dimensional manifolds…

This paper is about non-holomorphic isometric immersions of Kaehler manifolds into Euclidean space $f\colon M^{2n}\to\R^{2n+p}$, $p\leq n-1$, with low codimension $p\leq 11$. In particular, it addresses a conjecture proposed by J. Yan and…

This paper concerns the explicit construction of extremal Kaehler metrics on total spaces of projective bundles, which have been studied in many places. We present a unified approach, motivated by the theory of hamiltonian 2-forms (as…

We investigate the connections between four-dimensional, N=2 M-theory vacua constructed as orbifolds of type II, heterotic, and type I strings. All these models have the same massless spectrum, which contains an equal number of vector…

We use non-Abelian T-duality to construct new N=1 solutions of type IIA supergravity (and their M-theory lifts) that interpolate between AdS_5 geometries. We initiate a study of the holographic interpretation of these backgrounds as RG…

We study the construction of generalized Kahler manifolds, described purely in terms of N=(2,2) semichiral superfields, by a quotient using the semichiral vector multiplet. Despite the presence of a b-field in these models, we show that the…

We consider compactification of type IIA supergravity on nearly Kaehler manifolds. These represent a simple class of SU(3) structure manifolds which includes S^6 and CP^3. We exhibit for the first time an explicit reduction ansatz in this…

We show how to implement T-duality along non-abelian isometries in backgrounds with non-vanishing Ramond fields. When the dimension of the isometry group is odd (even) the duality swaps (preserves) the chirality of the theory. In certain…

Suppose $G$ is a connected complex Lie group and $H$ is a closed complex subgroup such that $X := G/H$ is Kaehler and the codimension of the top non-vanishing homology group of $X$ with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ is less than or equal to…
