Pin(d, d) covariance of pure spinor equations for supersymmetric vacua and non-Abelian T-duality

In a supersymmetric compactification of Type II supergravity, preservation of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions requires that the structure group of the generalized tangent bundle TM ⨁ T∗M of the six dimensional internal manifold M is reduced from SO(6) to SU(3) × SU(3). This topological condition on the internal manifold implies existence of two globally defined compatible pure spinors Φ1 and Φ2 of non-vanishing norm. Furthermore, these pure spinors should satisfy certain first order differential equations. In this paper, we show that non-Abelian T-duality (NATD) is a solution generating transformation for these pure spinor equations. We first show that the pure spinor equations are covariant under Pin(d, d) transformations. Then, we use the fact NATD is generated by a coordinate dependent Pin(d, d) transformation. The key point is that the flux produced by this transformation is the same as the geometric flux associated with the isometry group, with respect to which one implements NATD. We demonstrate our method by studying NATD of certain solutions of Type IIB supergravity with SU(2) isometry and SU(3) structure.

The Metrics G = agS + bgH + cgV on the Tangent Bundle of a Weyl Manifold

Let (M, [g]) be a Weyl manifold and TM be its tangent bundle equipped with Riemannian g−natural metrics which are linear combinations of Sasaki, horizontal and vertical lifts of the base metric with constant coefficients. The aim of this paper is to construct a Weyl structure on TM and to show that TM cannot be Einstein-Weyl even if (M, g) is fiat.

Multiplicative connections and their Lie theory

We define and study multiplicative connections in the tangent bundle of a Lie groupoid. Multiplicative connections are linear connections satisfying an appropriate compatibility with the groupoid structure. Our definition is natural in the sense that a linear connection on a Lie groupoid is multiplicative if and only if its torsion is a multiplicative tensor in the sense of Bursztyn–Drummond [Lie theory of multiplicative tensors, Mat. Ann. 375 (2019) 1489–1554, arXiv:1705.08579] and its geodesic spray is a multiplicative vector field. We identify the obstruction to the existence of a multiplicative connection. We also discuss the infinitesimal version of multiplicative connections in the tangent bundle, that we call infinitesimally multiplicative (IM) connections and we prove an integration theorem for IM connections. Finally, we present a few toy examples.

Foliations with isolated singularities on Hirzebruch surfaces

We study foliations ℱ {\mathcal{F}} on Hirzebruch surfaces S δ {S_{\delta}} and prove that, similarly to those on the projective plane, any ℱ {\mathcal{F}} can be represented by a bi-homogeneous polynomial affine 1-form. In case ℱ {\mathcal{F}} has isolated singularities, we show that, for δ = 1 {\delta=1} , the singular scheme of ℱ {\mathcal{F}} does determine the foliation, with some exceptions that we describe, as is the case of foliations in the projective plane. For δ ≠ 1 {\delta\neq 1} , we prove that the singular scheme of ℱ {\mathcal{F}} does not determine the foliation. However, we prove that, in most cases, two foliations ℱ {\mathcal{F}} and ℱ ′ {\mathcal{F}^{\prime}} given by sections s and s ′ {s^{\prime}} have the same singular scheme if and only if s ′ = Φ ⁢ ( s ) {s^{\prime}=\Phi(s)} , for some global endomorphism Φ of the tangent bundle of S δ {S_{\delta}} .

LIFTS OF GOLDEN STRUCTURES ON THE TANGENT BUNDLE

The present paper aims to study the complete lift of golden structure on tangent bundles. Integrability conditions for complete lift and third-order tangent bundle are established.

SOME VECTORS FIELDS ON THE TANGENT BUNDLE WITH A SEMI-SYMMETRIC METRIC CONNECTION

Let $M$ is a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold and $TM$ be its tangent bundlewith the semi-symmetric metric connection $\overline{\nabla }$. In thispaper, we examine some special vector fields, such as incompressible vectorfields, harmonic vector fields, concurrent vector fields, conformal vectorfields and projective vector fields on $TM$ with respect to thesemi-symmetric metric connection $\overline{\nabla }$ and obtain someproperties related to them.
