Supersymmetric Sigma Model Geometry

Supersymmetric Sigma Model Geometry

This is a review of how sigma models formulated in Superspace have become important tools for understanding geometry. Topics included are: The (hyper)kähler reduction; projective superspace; the generalized Legendre construction; generalized Kähler geometry and constructions of hyperkähler metrics o...
