We apply mirror symmetry to the super Calabi-Yau manifold CP^{(n|n+1)} and show that the mirror can be recast in a form which depends only on the superdimension and which is reminiscent of a generalized conifold. We discuss its geometrical…
We extend the link between Einstein Sasakian manifolds and Killing spinors to a class of $\eta$-Einstein Sasakian manifolds, both in Riemannian and Lorentzian settings, characterising them in terms of generalised Killing spinors. We propose…
We construct an embedding of two commuting copies of the N=2 superconformal vertex algebra in the space of global sections of the twisted chiral-anti-chiral de Rham complex of a generalized Calabi-Yau metric manifold, including the case…
We give a proof of the existence of $G=SU(5)$, stable holomorphic vector bundles on elliptically fibered Calabi--Yau threefolds with fundamental group $\bbz_2$. The bundles we construct have Euler characteristic 3 and an anomaly that can be…
The geometric features and toric descriptions of two different 8-dimensional $Spin(7)$ manifolds constructed via distinct resolutions of the cone over an $SU(3)/U(1)$ base, reveals that the geometry of the $Spin(7)$ conifold transition…
We define new Riemannian structures on 7-manifolds by a differential form of mixed degree which is the critical point of a (possibly constrained) variational problem over a fixed cohomology class. The unconstrained critical points…
This paper investigates intrinsic Killing symmetries of null hypersurfaces $\mathcal{N}_3$ within the framework of general relativity. To this end we consider $\mathcal{N}_3$ as detached from the embedding spacetime and equipped with a…
The near-horizon geometry of an asymptotically AdS_5 supersymmetric black hole discovered by Gutowski and Reall is analysed. After lifting the solution to 10 dimensions, we explicitly solve the Killing spinor equations in both Poincare and…
We give a pedagogical review of the localization of supersymmetric gauge theory on 5d toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. We construct the cohomological complex resulting from supersymmetry and consider its natural toric deformations with all…
We generalise the notion of a Killing superalgebra, which arises in the physics literature on supergravity, to general dimension, signature and choice of spinor module and Dirac current. We also allow for Lie algebras as well as…
We apply a definition of generalised super Calabi-Yau variety (SCY) to supermanifolds of complex dimension one. One of our results is that there are two SCY's having reduced manifold equal to $\mathbb{P}^1$, namely the projective super…
The general quintic hypersurface in ${\mathbb P}^4$ is the most famous example of a Calabi--Yau threefold for which mirror symmetry has been investigated in detail. There is a description of the mirror as a hypersurface in a certain…
Geometric Killing spinors which exist on AdS_{p+2} X S^{d-p-2} sometimes may be identified with supersymmetric Killing spinors. This explains the enhancement of unbroken supersymmetry near the p-brane horizon in d dimensions. The…
We use machine learning to approximate Calabi-Yau and SU(3)-structure metrics, including for the first time complex structure moduli dependence. Our new methods furthermore improve existing numerical approximations in terms of accuracy and…
We discuss how in the presence of a nontrivial RR two-form field strength and nontrivial dilaton the conditions of preserving supersymmetry on six-dimensional manifolds lead to generalized monopole and Killing spinor equations. We show that…
We define the notion of a Killing (super)algebra for a connection on a spinor bundle associated to a generalised spin structure on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of any signature. We are led naturally to include in the even subspace not only…
We study the geometric structure of Lorentzian spin manifolds, which admit imaginary Killing spinors. The discussion is based on the cone construction and a normal form classification of skew-adjoint operators in signature $(2,n-2)$.…
We study local automorphisms of holomorphic Cartan geometries. This leads to classification results for compact complex manifolds admitting Cartan geometries. We prove that a compact Calabi-Yau manifold bearing a holomorphic Cartan geometry…
We introduce some new algebraic structures arising naturally in the geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds and mirror symmetry. We give a universal construction of Calabi-Yau algebras in terms of a noncommutative symplectic DG algebra resolution.…
We study the compactification of M-theory on Calabi-Yau five-folds and the resulting N=2 super-mechanics theories. By explicit reduction from 11 dimensions, including both bosonic and fermionic terms, we calculate the one-dimensional…
