On G-strucures in gauge/string duality. / Jerome Gaillard

Swansea University Author: Jerome Gaillard

Abstract

We study how G-structures can be used in the framework of gauge/string duality. The reason why such concept is so powerful is that C-structures are a very natural way of describing supersymmetry in a geometric setting. We investigate more specifically two different points. First, we are interested i...
