Geometric structures arising in string theory

Dario Martelli

King's College London



Abstract: Several interesting differential-geometric structures arise in the context of string theory from requiring supersymmetry. In particular, this implies the existence of spinor fields obeying certain differential equations. I will discuss the physical motivations behind these structures and I will review examples of explicit constructions, including: special holonomy manifolds, complex non-Kaehler manifolds, and Sasaki-Einstein manifolds.
