We construct a covariant formulation of the heterotic superstring on K3 times T^2 with manifest N=2 supersymmetry. We show how projective superspace appears naturally in the hybrid formulation giving a (partially) geometric interpretation…

We present theories of N=2 hypermultiplets in four spacetime dimensions that are invariant under rigid or local superconformal symmetries. The target spaces of theories with rigid superconformal invariance are (4n)-dimensional {\it special}…

$N=2$ string theories are formulated in space-times with 2 space and 2 time dimensions. If the world-sheet matter system consists of 2 chiral superfields, the space-time is Kahler and the dynamics are those of anti-self-dual gravity. If…

Building on the theory of noncommutative complex structures, the notion of a noncommutative K\"ahler structure is introduced. In the quantum homogeneous space case many of the fundamental results of classical K\"ahler geometry are shown to…

We compare N=2 string and N=4 topological string within the framework of the sigma model approach. Being classically equivalent on a flat background, the theories are shown to lead to different geometries when put in a curved space. In…

Spaces equipped with congruences of null strings are considered. A special attention is paid to the spaces which belong to the two-sided Walker class and para-K\"ahler class. Properties of an intersection of self-dual and anti-self-dual…

We show that almost all string theories, including the bosonic string, the superstring and $W$-string theories, possess a twisted N=2 superconformal symmetry. This enables us to establish a connection between topological gravity and the…

We generalize the covariant c-map found in hep-th/0701214 including perturbative quantum corrections. We also perform explicitly the superconformal quotient from the hyperkahler cone obtained by the quantum c-map to the quaternion-Kahler…

The quantum algebra of observables of the massive closed bosonic string in 1+3 dimensions has been developed so far in the rest frame of the string. In this paper a method to write this algebra in a manifestly Lorentz covariant form is…

The dynamics of an N=4 spinning particle in a curved background is described using the N=4 superfield formalism. The $SU(2)_{local}\times SU(2)_{global}$ N=4 superconformal symmetry of the particle action requires the background to be a…

Based on a path integral prescription for anomaly calculation, we analyze an effective theory of the two-dimensional $N=2$ supergravity, i.e., $N=2$ super-Liouville theory. We calculate the anomalies associated with the BRST supercurrent…

We consider supersymmetric quantum mechanics on a K\"{a}hler cone, regulated via a suitable resolution of the conical singularity. The unresolved space has a $\mathfrak{u}(1,1|2)$ superconformal symmetry and we propose the existence of an…

We examine the Hamiltonian structure of nonabelian N=2 superstrings models which are the supergroup manifold extensions of N=2 Green-Schwarz superstring. We find the Kac-Moody and Virasoro type superalgebras of the relevant constraints and…

We consider type II string theory in space-time backgrounds which admit eight supercharges and can be characterized by the existence of an SU(3) x SU(3) structure. We show that the couplings of such backgrounds strongly resemble the…

We introduce the notion of hypersymplectic structure on a Courant algebroid and we prove the existence of a one-to-one correspondence between hypersymplectic and hyperk\"ahler structures. This correspondence provides a simpler way to define…

A hyperk\"ahler manifold is defined as a Riemannian manifold endowed with three covariantly constant complex structures that are quaternionically related. A twistor space is characterized as a holomorphic fiber bundle $p: \mathcal{Z}…

We study the class of non-degenerate homogeneous structures of linear type in the pseudo-K\"ahler, para-K\"ahler, pseudo-quaternion K\"ahler and para-quaternion K\"ahler cases. We show that these structures characterize spaces of constant…

Superalgebras including generators having spins up to two and realisable as tangent vector fields on Lorentz covariant generalised superspaces are considered. The latter have a representation content reminiscent of configuration spaces of…

We consider a general class of symmetries of hyper-Kahler quotients which can be interpreted as classical analogs of Seiberg duality for N=2 supersymmetric quiver gauge theories in the baryonic Higgs branch. Along the way we find that a…

Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond type heterotic and type-II superstrings in four dimensional curved space-time are constructed as exact $N=1$ superconformal theories. The tachyon is eliminated with a GSO projection. The theory is based on the N=1…
