Abstract

We geometrize six-dimensional pure N=1\mathcal{N}=1 Supergravity by means of an exact Courant algebroid, whose Severa class is defined through the Supergravity three-form HH, equipped with a generalized metric and a compatible, torsion-free, generalized connection. The Supergravity equations of motion follow from the vanishing of the Ricci curvature of the generalized metric, satisfying a natural notion of self-duality. This way, we interpret the solutions of six-dimensional pure, N=1\mathcal{N}=1, Supergravity as generalized self-dual gravitational monopoles. For the D1-D5 black string solution, we explore the possibility of controlling space-time singularities by using BB-field transformations.
